Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The Effect of Water Management and Cell Compression in Bipolar Membrane CO2 Electrolysis to CO

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In‐operando neutron imaging uncovers water management challenges in bipolar membrane CO2 electrolysis: Internal water generation floods the cathode, while compression dictates membrane and gas diffusion electrode integrity. Strategic adjustments are applied in this work: dry gas feed and mechanical support of the gas diffusion electrode enable stable ...
