Unravelling Microplastic Transport in the Gulf of St. Lawrence: Insights from Advanced Hydrodynamic Modelling Using TELEMAC-3D
Summary
Researchers used advanced 3D hydrodynamic modeling with TELEMAC-3D to simulate microplastic transport through the stratified tidal waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, revealing how currents, density gradients, and tidal cycles distribute particles across this vast marine system. The modeling outputs provide a predictive framework for identifying microplastic accumulation zones and informing monitoring priorities in Canada's largest estuarine environment.
The Gulf of St. Lawrence, a stratified tidal estuary, faces growing concerns regarding the distribution and fate of microplastics. To address and respond to these emerging contaminants, improved understanding of their ultimate fate and transport is required....
