Summary

This is a dataset from laboratory flume experiments measuring how microplastic fibers and nurdles resuspend from clay and sand beds. It supports a PhD thesis chapter on microplastic resuspension and flocculation in estuarine environments.

Study Type Environmental

Velocity (ADV), optical backscatter and suspended sediment data for a series of annular flume experiments utilising the Core Mini Flume to investigate microplastic (fibres, nurdles) resuspension from clay and sand beds. Data used in Chapter 5, Resuspension and Flocculation of Microplastics; from Stead (2021), Fate and Transport of Microplastics within Estuaries (PhD thesis)
