Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Networked Tethered Flying Platforms (NTFPs) have gained growing interest in recent years
due to their versatility and cost-efficiency. These aerial platforms are linked to ground …

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest in US history,
covering more than 1,000 km of shorelines and causing losses that exceeded $50 billion …

Lagrangian observations are important for the understanding of complex transport patterns
of floating macroscopic litter items at the ocean surface. Satellite-tracked drifters and …

Marine debris is considered a threat to the inhabitants, as well as the marine environments.
Accumulation of marine debris, besides climate change factors, including warming water …

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) particulate-matter (PM) monitoring system was
developed that can perform three-dimensional stereoscopic observation of PM2. 5 and …

Predicting the distribution of oil, buoyant plastics, flotsam, and marine organisms near the
ocean surface remains a fundamental problem of practical importance. This manuscript …

We present an analysis of ocean surface dispersion characteristics, on 1–100-m scales,
obtained by optically tracking a release of O⁡(600) bamboo plates for 2 h in the northern …

The dynamics of crude oil and different surface ocean drifters were compared to study the
physical processes that govern the transport and landfall of marine oil spills. In a wave-tank …
