Including debris cover effects in a distributed model of glacier ablation [PDF]
, 2012 Distributed glacier melt models generally assume that the glacier surface consists of bare exposed ice and snow. In reality, many glaciers are wholly or partially covered in layers of debris that tend to suppress ablation rates.

A Survey for Massive Giant Planets in Debris Disks with Evacuated Inner Cavities [PDF]
, 2007 The commonality of collisionally replenished debris around main sequence stars suggests that minor bodies are frequent around Sun-like stars. Whether or not debris disks in general are accompanied by planets is yet unknown, but debris disks with large ...

Development of a Debris Index [PDF]
, 2018 Environmental indices for space objects have been proposed to identify good candidates for active debris removal missions and to deal with the licensing process of space objects before their launch. A way to rank the environmental impact of spacecraft may be based on the assessment of how their fragmentations would affect operational satellites.

Plastic debris in rivers [PDF]
WIREs Water, 2019 AbstractPlastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems is an emerging environmental risk, as it may negatively impacts ecology, endangers aquatic species, and causes economic damage. Rivers are known to play a crucial role in transporting land‐based plastic waste to the world's oceans, but riverine ecosystems are also directly affected by plastic pollution ...

Plastic debris in the open ocean [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance High concentrations of floating plastic debris have been reported in remote areas of the ocean, increasing concern about the accumulation of plastic litter on the ocean surface. Since the introduction of plastic materials in the 1950s, the global production of plastic has increased rapidly and will continue in the coming decades.
