Sinking Plastic Snow – How Microplastics Get to the Deep Ocean
Dive deep into the fascinating world of marine microplastics with Katsia Pabortsava, scientist at the National Oceanography Centre, UK. Her research explores how microplastics are distributed in the ocean and their interactions with marine ecosystems.
In this insightful interview, you can learn more about the interaction of microplastics with particulate organic matter, and how aggregation with marine snow and incorporation into zooplankton fecal material contribute to their sinking. Katsia breaks down the science behind these processes, offering a glimpse into cutting-edge detection methods and technologies.
Join us to gain a deeper understanding on the ecological impacts of ocean-borne microplastics. Katsia’s expertise is a must-hear for anyone passionate about protecting our oceans.
