A threshold model of plastic waste fragmentation: New insights into the distribution of microplastics in the ocean and its evolution over time [PDF]
, 2023 Plastic pollution in the aquatic environment has been assessed for many years by ocean waste collection expeditions around the globe or by river sampling. While the total amount of plastic produced worldwide is well documented, the amount of plastic found in the ocean, the distribution of particles on its surface and its evolution over time are still ...

Modelling size distributions of marine plastics under the influence of continuous cascading fragmentation [PDF]
, 2020 Field studies have shown that plastic fragments make up the majority of plastic pollution in the oceans in terms of abundance. How quickly environmental plastics fragment is not well understood, however. Here, we study this fragmentation process by considering a model which captures continuous fragmentation of particles over time in a cascading fashion.
