• Current efforts on microplastic monitoring in Arctic fish and how to proceed 

      Kögel, Tanja; Hamilton, Bonnie M.; Granberg, Maria; Provencher, Jennifer F.; Hammer, Sjúrður; Gomiero, Alessio; Magnusson, Kerstin; Lusher, Amy Lorraine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In this review, we investigated published data on the occurrence of microplastic in Arctic fish, and the suitability of the data and species for risk assessment and monitoring. As of 11.11.2021, we found nine studies in ...
    • Future monitoring of litter and microplastics in the Arctic – challenges, opportunities and strategies 

      Provencher, Jennifer F.; Aliani, Stefano; Bergmann, Melanie; Bourdages, Madelaine; Buhl-Mortensen, Lene; Galgani, Francois; Gomiero, Alessio; Granberg, Maria; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Hamilton, Bonnie M.; Kögel, Tanja; Larsen, Jan René; Lusher, Amy; Mallory, Mark L; Murphy, Peter; Peeken, Ilka; Primpke, Sebastian; Strand, Jakob; Vorkamp, Katrin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) has published a plan and guidelines for the monitoring of litter and microplastics (MP) in the Arctic. Here we look beyond suggestions for immediate monitoring and ...
    • Monitoring of microplastic pollution in the Arctic: Recent developments in polymer identification, quality assurance and control (QA/QC), and data reporting 

      Primpke, Sebastian; Booth, Andy; Gerdts, Gunnar; Gomiero, Alessio; Kögel, Tanja; Lusher, Amy Lorraine; Strand, Jakob; Scholz-Böttcher, Barbara; Galgani, Francois; Provencher, Jennifer F; Aliani, Stefano; Patankar, Shreyas; Vorkamp, Katrin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The pollution of the environment with plastics is of growing concern worldwide, including the Arctic region. While larger plastic pieces are a visible pollution issue, smaller microplastics are not visible with the naked ...
    • Trans-polar drift-pathways of riverine European microplastic 

      Huserbråten, Mats Brockstedt Olsen; Hattermann, Tore; Broms, Cecilie; Albretsen, Jon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      High concentrations of microplastic particles are reported across the Arctic Ocean–yet no meaningful point sources, suspension timelines, or accumulation areas have been identified. Here we use Lagrangian particle advection ...
