Integrating technology and environmental data to predict mismanaged plastic waste in a watershed

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1912-1926, October 2025.
Abstract Comprehensive methods for estimating mismanaged waste accumulation in the environment are limited, especially in the Global South, and new technologies are urgently needed. Here, we applied the Azure system, a physical floating barrier designed to retain and extract river floating waste while providing observational data of mismanaged waste ...

Global‐Scale Detection of Plastic From Space With the EMIT Imaging Spectrometer

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract The increase in international production of plastics since the 1950s and waste mismanagement have contributed to the proliferation of microplastics. Understanding plastic presence on land is crucial, as most pollution originates from land‐based sources. From its vantage point on the International Space Station, NASA's EMIT imaging spectrometer

Riverine macroplastic monitoring in Myanmar: sources and pollution dynamics in the Bago River

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Global plastic pollution has been highlighted as an important environmental issue that requires urgent attention. Macroplastics, plastic items >2.5 cm, contribute the majority to global plastic pollution by mass and are the easiest to manage or remove ...

Riverine plastic emission from Jakarta into the ocean

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Plastic pollution in aquatic environments is an increasing global risk. In recent years, marine plastic pollution has been studied to a great extent, and it has been hypothesized that land-based plastics are its main source.

Temporal stability of riverbank macroplastic

Abstract Macroplastic pollution (>0.5 cm) is prevalent on riverbanks and floodplains globally. Macroplastic can reach riverbanks via various pathways. These pathways include direct littering, overland transport by wind or surface runoff, or transport and deposition by the river.

Diet and Feeding Behavior of the South Polar Skuas Stercorarius maccormicki in the Haswell Islands, East Antarctica

Birds
The diet and feeding behavior of South Polar Skuas (Stercorarius maccormicki) are well studied within the species’ breeding range but are poorly understood on the Haswell Islands. The aim of this study was to determine how South Polar Skuas use available

The impact of floods on plastic pollution

Global Sustainability
Non-Technical Summary Plastic harms ecosystem health and human livelihood on land, in rivers, and in the sea. To prevent and reduce plastic pollution, we must know how plastics move through the environment.
