Summary

This field expedition report documents sampling conducted on Terceira Island in the Azores in June 2022, aimed at locating ombrotrophic peatlands for reconstructing the historical deposition of micropollutants including microplastics in the North Atlantic. Peatland cores, aerosol samples, and water samples were collected.

This field report presents the sampling carried out in June 2022 during a mission on the island of Terceira (Azores, Portugal). The main objective of the mission was to find and probe ombrotrophic peatlands in order to reconstruct the chronology of micropollutant deposition including microplastics in the North Atlantic. The peatlands and cores are described, as well as the aerosol and water samples taken.
