Macroplastic fate and transport in the freshwater environment are of great concern due to the
potentially harmful effects of macroplastic on plants, animals, and humans. Here, we present …

Catchment-scale plastic pollution assessments provide insights in its sources, sinks, and
pathways. We present an approach to quantify macroplastic transport and density across the …

Macroplastic, a precursor of microplastic pollution, has become a new scope of research
interest. However, the physical processes of macroplastic transport and deposition in rivers …

Rivers are one of the main conduits that deliver plastic from land into the sea, and also act
as reservoirs for plastic retention. Yet, our understanding of the extent of river exposure to …

Rivers are major contributors of plastic waste to the oceans. Running through the northern
part of the 1.3 million-inhabitants City of Durban, South Africa, the Umgeni River is estimated …

Hydrometeorological processes are often assumed to be key drivers of plastic transport.
However, the predominant focus on these factors overlooks the impact of anthropogenic …

Despite their catastrophic implications in flood events, the mobilization and transport of
large, loose objects–termed Urban Flood Drifters (UFDs)–are often overlooked in flood …

Plastic waste is commonly littered in the environment due to insufficient waste management
practices. Mismanaged plastic waste may migrate and accumulate in terrestrial and aquatic …

Environmental plastic pollution is a global, wide-spread concern. It has negative effects on
ecosystems and societies alike. Especially rivers are of crucial concern. In rivers, plastic …

Abstract Models estimate up to 3 million metric tons of river plastic waste flowing into the
world's ocean every year. All ocean-bound rivers endure tidal impact to some degree, but …
