This episode visualizes the global crisis of ocean plastic pollution through detailed mapping and satellite data. We trace ...

Scientists from the Department of Geography and Environmental Science at Queen Mary University of London have developed a ...

Large, buoyant plastic items degrade over decades, shedding microplastics as they go. These tiny fragments may eventually ...

Scientists found that even if all plastic dumping stopped today, floating plastics would take over 100 years to vanish.

Floating ocean plastics can take more than 100 years to disappear, breaking into tiny fragments that slowly sink to the seafloor.

Marine scientists are witnessing a technological revolution in ocean cleanup. Revolutionary systems are transforming how we ...

The team uses seawater and delicate mesh filters to painstakingly separate the buoyant plastic by hand. The goal is to ...

Snowballing framework between the oil slick dataset and the deep learning model. The left panel (in red) represents the process of data preparation, and the right panel (in blue) represents the ...

Imagine being able to check the likelihood of ocean pollution the same way you check the weather. It is an idea that a team of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego put ...

Scientists for years have argued over drastic action to cool a warming world. Among the most widely debated is stratospheric ...
