Modeling the Fate and Distribution of Floating Litter Particles in the Aegean Sea (E. Mediterranean)
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 A circulation model is coupled to a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate the transport floating litter particles in the Aegean Sea, Greece (Eastern Mediterranean). Considering different source regions and release dates, simulations were carried

Floating Riverine Litter Flux to the White Sea: Seasonal Changes in Abundance and Composition
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Arctic rivers bring litter from their basins to the sea, but accurate data for the Arctic do not exist yet. This study presents the first assessment of floating macro litter input (>2.5 cm) from the Northern Dvina and Onega rivers to the White Sea.

Riparian leaf litter decomposition on pond bottom after a retention on floating vegetation
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Allochthonous (e.g., riparian) plant litter is among the organic matter resources that are important for wetland ecosystems. A compact canopy of free‐floating vegetation on the water surface may allow for riparian litter to remain on it for a period of ...

TOWARDS DETECTING FLOATING OBJECTS ON A GLOBAL SCALE WITH LEARNED SPATIAL FEATURES USING SENTINEL 2 [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 Marine litter is a growing problem that has been attracting attention and raising concerns over the last years. Significant quantities of plastic can be found in the oceans due to the unfiltered discharge of waste into rivers, poor waste management, or ...
