A pilot study about microplastics and mesoplastics in an Antarctic glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Abstract. Plastics have been found in several compartments in Antarctica. However, there is currently no evidence of their presence on Antarctic glaciers. Our pilot study investigated plastic occurrence on two ice surfaces (one area around Uruguay Lake and another one around Ionosferico Lake) that constitute part of the ablation zone of Collins Glacier

Underwater Macroplastic Detection Using Imaging Sonars
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Plastic pollution in the ocean occurs mainly via riverine transport. In rivers, plastic is pervasive in sediments and in the water column. Monitoring of floating plastics in rivers is time consuming as it is usually collected using nets and classified by
