Research Digests
Each time a major batch of papers lands in the Atlas, we summarize the story it tells.
A wider net: 4,944 papers join the Atlas
The largest batch yet. The research that stood out, and why the finding that matters most is that we have probably been undercounting all along.
A quieter batch: 2,239 papers
A smaller import. Micro and nanoplastics turning up in the brain, new attention to the air, and the slow work of cleanup.
The first expansion: 25,378 papers
The second big import leaned into solutions: degradation, recycling, and bioplastics. And one study warning the problem is outpacing all of them.
The founding index: 81,172 papers
Where the Atlas began. The most-cited papers in its first pull, and the moment the field turned from the ocean to the human body.
