Microplastic debris ending up at the sea surface has become a known major environmental
issue. However, how microplastic particles move and when they sink in the ocean remains …

Physical and dynamic properties of marine microplastic (MP) particles are summarized, with
relevance to their behavior in the coastal zone. The density range, size classes, and typical …

We study the vertical dispersion and distribution of negatively buoyant rigid microplastics
within a realistic circulation model of the Mediterranean sea. We first propose an equation …

The chaotic nature of ocean motion is a major challenge that hinders the discovery of spatio-
temporal current routes that govern the transport of material. Certain material, such as oil …

We used transition path theory (TPT) to infer “reactive” pathways of floating marine debris
trajectories. The TPT analysis was applied on a pollution-aware time-homogeneous Markov …

A valuable analogue for assessing Earth's sensitivity to warming is the Last Interglacial (LIG;
129–116 kyr), when global temperatures (0−+ 2° C) and mean sea level (+ 6–11 m) were …

We performed nitrogen (N) budgets in the photic layer of three contrasting stations
representing different trophic conditions in the western tropical South Pacific (WTSP) Ocean …

A framework for the study of surface ocean inertial particle motion is built from the Maxey–
Riley set. A new set is obtained by vertically averaging each term of the original set, adapted …
