Plastic is a huge concern for the environment. When consumer products and industrial waste break down, the environment becomes inundated with small pieces of plastic known as microplastics. For this ...

Researchers examine the specific impacts of microplastics on the geophysics of sea foam formation in the critical zone where water meets air in the top layer of the ocean. They devised two simulations ...

Microplastics reach polar regions through long-distance ocean currents, atmospheric transport, and migratory species ...

Mike Weisskopf leaned off a boat dock, bucket in hand, and scooped water from Wappoo Creek. Nearby, an empty plastic liquor bottle bobbed up and down. Weisskopf, a volunteer for Charleston Waterkeeper ...

Scientists have revealed which countries have the highest consumption of microplastics through our food and through the air. So how does the U.S. compare? Microplastics refer to any plastics smaller ...

A wave channel experiment used a zoom lens camera and a custom Python script to process imagery of four different zones: wave generation, shoaling and breaking, air detained by a plunging jet of water ...
