Data from: In situ correlation between microplastic and suspended particulate matter concentrations in river-estuary systems support proxies for satellite-derived estimates of microplastic flux
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset entry provides raw measurement data from a study correlating microplastic concentrations with suspended particulate matter in river-estuary systems. The data supports developing satellite-based proxies for estimating microplastic flux in rivers and estuaries.
Data from Sullivan et al., (in press) In situ correlation between microplastic and suspended particulate matter concentrations in river-estuary systems support proxies for satellite-derived estimates of microplastic flux, Marine Pollution Bulletin. It contains the summary of the in situ measurements of TSM and microplastic counts and concentrations for each site. For more detail on the methods, users are directed to the methods section 2.2 of the open access paper.

Researchers measured microplastic concentrations alongside suspended particulate matter (SPM) in a UK estuary (Tamar), finding a significant correlation between the two parameters. This relationship supports using satellite-based SPM measurements as a proxy for estimating microplastic flux from rivers to the ocean.

Suspended particulate matter concentration as a proxy for microplastics abundance in the Tamar estuary (UK): application to satellite remote sensing
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed and tested an Earth Observation method using satellite data to estimate microplastic concentrations in rivers by correlating them with suspended particulate matter measurements that satellites can detect from space. The approach was validated against field data from multiple rivers, showing reasonable predictive accuracy for plastic loads. If confirmed, this technique could enable monitoring of microplastic pollution in rivers at a global scale using existing satellite infrastructure.
