Plastics

What is it about?

The MARINA-Plastics models focus on plastic-related water quality. Plastic inputs from rivers into seas are a major concern due to their adverse consequences to life in and around waters. The models aim to quantify inputs of macro- and microplastics to rivers and their river exports to seas by sources for the past, present and future. We develop model applications for global use, for China and for Europe and other regions (see below).
