Assessment of seasonal variability of input of microplastics from the Northern Dvina River to the Arctic Ocean
Zhdanov, Igor; Lokhov, Alexey; Belesov, Artem; Kozhevnikov, Alexander; Pakhomova, Svetlana; Berezina, Anfisa; Frolova, Natalia; Kotova, Ekaterina; Leshchev, Andrey; Wang, Xinhong; Zavialov, Peter; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Northern Dvina River is one of the largest rivers in the European Arctic flowing into the White Sea through the populated regions with developed industry. Floating plastics include microplastics (0.5–5 mm) and mesoplastics ... -
Biogeochemical structure of the Laptev Sea in 2015-2020 associated with the River Lena plume
Xie, Lina; Yakushev, Evgeniy; Semiletov, Igor; Grinko, Andrey; Gangnus, Ivan; Berezina, Anfisa; Osadchiev, Alexander; Zhdanov, Igor; Polukhin, Alexander; Moiseeva, Julia; Purgina, Darya; Pipko, Irina; Pugach, Svetlana; Dudarev, Oleg; Ge, Zhenming (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The discharge of rivers and the subsequent dispersion of their plumes play a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycling of the Arctic Ocean. Based on the data collected during annual transects conducted in the autumn period ... -
Differences in the Fate of Surface and Subsurface Microplastics: A Case Study in the Central Atlantic
Zhdanov, Igor; Pakhomova, Svetlana; Berezina, Anfisa; Silvestrova, Ksenia; Stepanova, Natalia; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic is recognized as a threat to marine ecosystems, and estimating the level of plastic and microplastics (MPs) pollution of the World Ocean is, nowadays, the goal of many studies. However, the use of different methods ... -
Distribution of floating marine macro-litter in relation to oceanographic characteristics in the Russian Arctic Seas
Pogojeva, Maria; Zhdanov, Igor; Berezina, Anfisa; Lapenkov, Artem; Kosmach, Denis; Osadchiev, Alexander; Hanke, Georg; Semiletov, Igor; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)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 microplastics in Svalbard fjords: High spatial variability requires methodological consistency in estuarine systems
Pakhomova, Svetlana; Berezina, Anfisa; Zhdanov, Igor; Mekhova, Olga; Ilinskaya, Alisa; Golyakov, Alexey; Polivanova, Tatiana; Gebruk, Anna; Lusher, Amy Lorraine; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Microplastic pollution was studied in surface waters of Isfjorden, Svalbard in July 2021 as a part of an international regional harmonisation exercise. Surface microplastics (0.5–5 mm) were sampled with a neuston net in ... -
Microplastic variability in subsurface water from the Arctic to Antarctica
Pakhomova, Svetlana; Berezina, Anfisa; Lusher, Amy L.; Zhdanov, Igor; Silvestrova, Ksenia; Zavialov, Peter; van Bavel, Bert; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Comparative investigations of microplastic (MP) occurrence in the global ocean are often hampered by the application of different methods. In this study, the same sampling and analytical approach was applied during five ... -
Polymer Type Identification of Marine Plastic Litter Using a Miniature Near-Infrared Spectrometer (MicroNIR)
Pakhomova, Svetlana; Zhdanov, Igor; van Bavel, Bert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plastic pollution in the marine environment has turned into an important research topic in recent decades. Until recently, studies were often based on visual assessment only, which is not enough to draw any conclusion about ... -
Surface microplastics in the Kara Sea: from the Kara Gate to the 83°N
Berezina, Anfisa; Pakhomova, Svetlana; Zhdanov, Igor; Mekhova, Olga; Polivanova, Tatiana; Novikov, Matvei; Pogojeva, Maria; Osadchiev, Alexander; Stepanova, Natalia; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Despite ongoing research into microplastics pollution in the Arctic Ocean, the region remains underexplored. In the Eurasian Arctic studies mainly focus on the Barents Sea, while there are only limited and variable data ...
