Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and
other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry. In the Lagrangian approach, large sets of …

The 'ODD'(Overview, Design concepts, and Details) protocol was published in 2006 to
standardize the published descriptions of individual-based and agent-based models …

The concentration and spatial distribution of microplastics in the Bay of Brest (Brittany,
France) was investigated in two surveys. Surface water and sediment were sampled at nine …

Starting in 2011, coastal areas of the Caribbean Sea and tropical Atlantic Ocean began to
experience extraordinary yearly accumulations of pelagic Sargassum brown alga. Historical …

Plastic debris is the most common and exponentially increasing human pollutant in the
world's ocean. The distribution and impact of plastic in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans have …

Pelagic organisms' movement and motion of buoyant particles are driven by processes
operating across multiple, spatial and temporal scales. We developed a probabilistic, multi …

The global decline of coral reefs has led to calls for strategies that reconcile biodiversity
conservation and fisheries benefits. Still, considerable gaps in our understanding of the …

Microplastic research has mainly concentrated on open seas, while riverine plumes remain
largely unexplored despite their hypothesized importance as a microplastic source to …

Since 2011, beach inundation of massive amounts of pelagic Sargassum algae has
occurred around the Caribbean nations and islands. Previous studies have applied satellite …

A number of studies have illustrated the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) for detecting
marine vertebrates. However, little is known about the fate and transport of eDNA in the …
