Modeling the Pathways and Accumulation Patterns of Micro- and Macro-Plastics in the Mediterranean
Tsiaras, K., et al., Frontiers in Marine Science Plastics & Pollution
In the present study, a basin-scale coupled hydrodynamic/particle drift model was used to track the pathways and fate of plastics from major land-based sources (coastal cities and rivers), taking into account of the most important processes (advection, stokes drift, vertical and horizontal mixing, sinking, wind drag, and beaching).
