      The main objectives of this work were the acquisition of new data on floating marine macro litter (FMML) and natural floating objects in the Arctic seas, an initial assessment of the level of pollution by FMML and an ...
    • Floating Riverine Litter Flux to the White Sea: Seasonal Changes in Abundance and Composition 

      Mikusheva, Maria; Pogojeva, Maria; Kotova, Ekaterina; Kozhevnikov, Alexsander; Danilova, Eleonora; Berezina, Anfisa; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Arctic rivers bring litter from their basins to the sea, but accurate data for the Arctic do not exist yet. This study presents the first assessment of floating macro litter input (>2.5 cm) from the Northern Dvina and Onega ...
    • Surface microplastics in the Kara Sea: from the Kara Gate to the 83°N
