Particle Tracking data for 'Basin-scale sources and pathways of microplastic that ends up in the Galapagos Archipelago'
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset provides particle tracking simulation outputs using Parcels v2.0.0 for a study on basin-scale sources and pathways of microplastics reaching the Galapagos Archipelago. The simulations model ocean current-driven transport of floating plastic particles across the Pacific basin.

Particle Tracking data for 'Influence of barotropic tidal currents on transport and accumulation of floating microplastics in the global open ocean'
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset contains particle tracking simulation outputs using Parcels v1.1 for a study on the influence of barotropic tidal currents on transport and accumulation of floating microplastics in the global open ocean. The data support a manuscript examining how tidal forcing affects microplastic distribution.
Basin-scale sources and pathways of microplastic that ends up in the Galápagos Archipelago
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used ocean surface current modeling to trace sources of plastic litter accumulating on Galápagos Archipelago coastlines, finding that pollution originates primarily from nearby fishing regions and South American coastlines, particularly northern Peru and southern Ecuador.
Basin-scale sources and pathways of microplastic that ends up in the Galápagos Archipelago
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used ocean transport modeling to trace the sources of plastic litter washing up on the Galapagos Islands, finding that most originates from distant coastal sources rather than local activity. The work highlights how remote, protected ecosystems can be contaminated by plastic pollution generated far away.
Simulated trajectories of polyester microfibers in the Salish Sea using offline Lagrangian particle tracking
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset presents simulated trajectories of polyester microfibers released in the Salish Sea using Lagrangian particle tracking with the Parcels framework and SalishSeaCast circulation fields. The simulations tracked microfiber movement from January to October 2023, providing data on how textile microplastics disperse through a coastal ocean system.
Study of Microplastic Movement Using Parcels in the Waters of Sintok Island, Karimunjawa Archipelago
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian-language study uses ocean particle tracking software (Parcels) to simulate the movement of microplastics in the waters around Sintok Island in the Karimunjawa Archipelago. The model traces microplastic sources and likely accumulation zones based on local current patterns. Understanding microplastic transport pathways in Indonesian coastal waters is important for targeting cleanup and monitoring efforts.
