Detection and Monitoring of Floating Plastic Debris on Inland Waters From Sentinel-2 Time Series

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Floating plastic debris on water surfaces imposes both short- and long-term burdens on nature. Hence, identifying and monitoring plastic is important to document the location and scale of the phenomenon.

Preferential deposition of macroplastic on floodplains

Cambridge Prisms: Plastics
Floods have a large impact on the mobilization, distribution and retention of macroplastic in rivers. Some of the transported plastic is deposited on riverbanks and floodplains.

Beached Plastic Debris Index; a modern index for detecting plastics on beaches

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Plastic pollution on shorelines poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need for scalable detection methods to facilitate debris removal. In this study, the Beached Plastic Debris Index (BPDI) was developed to detect plastic accumulation on beaches using shortwave infrared spectral features.
