Dataset accompanying the publication "Transport and retention of micro-Polystyrene in coarse riverbed sediments: Effects of flow velocity, particle and sediment sizes"
Summary
This dataset accompanies a study on how flow velocity, particle size, and sediment grain size affect the transport and retention of polystyrene microplastics in riverbeds. The raw image files support research into how microplastics move through freshwater systems and accumulate in sediment.
The dataset in this repository is accompanying the publication "Transport and retention of micro-Polystyrene in coarse riverbed sediments: Effects of flow velocity, particle and sediment sizes" (in Microplastics and Nanoplastics, 2023, submitted 09.06.2023) by Matthias Munz 1, Constantin Loui 1, Denise Postler 1, Marco Pittroff 2,1, Sascha E.

In addition, we provide the resulting data from the particle identification and geometric analysis which were derived from the raw data using ImageJ in tabular excel format. The data is structured in folders following the naming of the columns from the manuscript.
