A huge congratulations to Danielle Woodford passing the viva! She has been doing top works related to ecological risks of #microplastics in the past four years.

After 3 years and 6 months of finding over 20,000 tiny #microplastics in tiny #flocs , I made it in submitting my PhD thesis today! A huge thanks to Kate L Spencer Stuart Grieve and Andy Manning. #phdlife #PhD #phdthesis

Aggregation of microplastics and freshwater snow is key factor driving their respective settling rates. From an ecosystem services point of view, by unraveling these dynamics we gain deeper insights into the fate of microplastics and their impacts on biogeochemical cycles.

Come and join if you are interested in how the high-speed trains (flocs) take passengers (#microplastics) to bottom of the ocean!

I've been digging into #deepLearning applications for #environmentalToxicology lately, and am blown away (and a bit intimidated) by how fast the field is moving (and how cool it is)! This recent paper on #multiModal learning in Environmental Science & Technology Journals is a fun read! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to share our paper with Kate L Spencer Stuart Grieve and Andy Manning published at Nature Water This study can predict which fraction of #microplastics can be incorporated into and transported with #flocs in various aquatic environments nature.com/articles/s4422…

Congrats to Nan Wu This work spots an important research gap on which fraction of microplastics can be transported by flocs rather than single entries in the natural environment.

Kate L Spencer (@drkatespencer) 's Twitter Profile Photo

1000s of observations of #microplastic and their association with suspended sediment reveal a simple mathematical relationship between MP size and Floc size enabling us to predict *how* they’re transported in any aquatic setting. Great first PhD paper Nan Wu congratulations

#stormdarragh - our third winter storm of the season. We’re reminded that along with damage to homes #flooding can also stir up long forgotten sources of #pollution. theconversation.com/as-floodwaters…
