A global mass budget for positively buoyant macroplastic debris in the ocean
Scientific Reports, 2019 Predicted global figures for plastic debris accumulation in the ocean surface layer range on the order of hundreds of thousands of metric tons, representing only a few percent of estimated annual emissions into the marine environment.

Scholarpedia, 2011 Space debris are all man made objects including fragments and elements thereof, in Earth orbit or re-entering the atmosphere, that are non functional. This widely accepted official definition was adopted by the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC), an international governmental forum for the worldwide coordination of activities ...

On the Solar System-Debris Disk Connecction [PDF]
, 2007 This paper emphasizes the connection between solar and extra-solar debris disks: how models and observations of the Solar System are helping us understand the debris disk phenomenon, and vice versa, how debris disks are helping us place our Solar System into context.

Prediction of spatial distribution of debris-flow hit probability considering the source-location uncertainty [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Prediction of the extent and probability of debris flow under rainfall conditions can contribute to precautionary activities through risk quantification. To this end, quantifying the debris-flow risk against rainfall involves three components: predicting the debris-flow initiation locations under rainfall conditions, setting appropriate physical ...
