Influence of estuarine physical processes in the transport of microplastics: a modelling study in the Gironde estuary
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a hydrodynamic model to investigate how estuarine physical processes in the Gironde estuary influence the transport and distribution of microplastics, examining the role of tidal currents, salinity gradients, and fluvial discharge on particle fate. The modelling study provides insight into the mechanisms controlling microplastic accumulation and export in estuarine environments.

Effects of Microplastic-Sediment Interactions on Microplastics Dispersion in the Gironde Estuary: A Modelling Approach
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a hydrodynamic model to investigate how microplastic-sediment interactions influence the dispersion and transport of microplastics within the Gironde Estuary. The modeling approach demonstrated that sediment dynamics significantly affect microplastic fate, altering predicted spatial distributions compared to models that ignore particle-sediment interactions.

Researchers implemented a Lagrangian particle-tracking hydrodynamic model in the macrotidal Gironde estuary to investigate the sensitivity of microplastic transport and dispersion to physical processes including time-varying vertical diffusivity, water density, beaching-refloating, and bottom resuspension.
Exposing estuarine regions as microplastic traps: modeling transport pathways and accumulation hotspots in the Minho Estuary (Portugal-Spain)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers combined field sampling with a Lagrangian particle tracking model in the Minho Estuary to map how river discharge and tidal cycles control microplastic transport, identifying persistent accumulation hotspots and determining the conditions under which the estuary shifts between acting as a source versus a sink for ocean-bound microplastics.
Transport et piégeage des microplastiques dans un estuaire fortement turbide et dominé par la marée
AI summary Read the abstract
A Lagrangian numerical model of the Gironde estuary found that shoreline beaching-refloating dynamics dominate transport of buoyant microplastics, while resuspension and vertical mixing control denser particles. This mechanistic understanding of estuarine microplastic trapping is critical for accurate risk assessment, as estuaries act as major retention zones where microplastics accumulate before reaching coastal marine environments.
Physical drivers of transport, dispersion and trapping of microplastics in a macrotidal, hyper-turbid fluvial–estuarine system: A modelling approach
AI summary Read the abstract
Estuaries — where rivers meet the ocean — act like traps for microplastics, with tides, sediment, and shoreline interactions causing much of this plastic pollution to get stuck rather than flushed out to sea. This matters because these are often the same waters used for fishing and shellfish harvesting, meaning trapped microplastics may build up in local food sources over time rather than dispersing and diluting in the open ocean.
