📢 #Microplastic folks, let’s rethink how we use “fragment” for angular particles 🔷 “Fragment” implies a secondary microplastic, but primary #plastics can start angular too! Use the grain shape chart below instead: Read more in section 3.1: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

✨Good news!✨ Australia’s seen a 40% drop in #plasticpollution on major beaches!🏖️ They’ve pledged to phase out unnecessary plastics by 2025 & reuse or recycle all plastic waste by 2040♻️ It’s PROOF that action works! Let’s keep going! #BeachCleanUp #EnviroNews www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

This is so exciting! 😆 It’s going to be a SUPER opportunity to present and discuss what moves on Earth and why… in a multidisciplinary space 🌍 Please share with anyone who you think would be interested ✨ #envhist #geoarcheology #archeology #arts #culture #science #geology #anthropocene

Our latest work suggests that rivers don’t just transport and store microplastics — they actively create them through fluvial process-driven fragmentation of macroplastics! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... #PlasticPollution #river Thank you @seddyrocks.bsky.social for amazing collaboration!

I am ✨BEYOND✨ excited to share my “Classification Framework for Assessing #Anthropogenic #Sedimentary Facies”! It covers composition, bed- and grain-scale descriptors, structures, and nomenclature. Now we can describe the developing #sedimentology of #Anthropocene #Earth 🌍 bit.ly/4hLbd2X 🧪 ⚒️

Together with Luca Gallitelli @riverinelitter.bsky.social, we show that wood jams can retain up to 600× more macroplastic than channel sediments. We introduce the term plastic-wood jam to describe this phenomenon. doi.org/10.1007/s107... #Macroplastics #Hydrobiologia #RiverPollution @ncn.gov.pl
