Modelling the Marine Microplastic Distribution from Municipal Wastewater in Saronikos Gulf (E. Mediterranean)
AI summary Read the abstract
This study coupled a Lagrangian Individual Based Model with a 3D hydrodynamic ocean model to simulate the distribution of microplastics from municipal wastewater sources in Saronikos Gulf in the eastern Mediterranean. The modeling approach tracked particle transport and accumulation patterns in this semi-enclosed sea.

Modelling the Marine Microplastic Distribution from Municipal Wastewater in Saronikos Gulf (E. Mediterranean)
AI summary Read the abstract
A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model coupled with a Lagrangian individual-based model was used to simulate the dispersion of microplastics from municipal wastewater discharge in Saronikos Gulf in the eastern Mediterranean. The modeling approach helps predict where microplastics released from wastewater treatment plants accumulate in coastal marine environments.

Simulation of the transport of marine microplastic particles in the Ionian Archipelago (NE Ionian Sea) using a Lagrangian model and the control mechanisms affecting their transport
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate microplastic transport in the Ionian Archipelago, finding that oceanographic currents drove significant dispersal of particles released from coastal population centers, with implications for biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive part of the Mediterranean.
Three-dimensional Lagrangian microplastic transport simulations in the Gulf of Naples (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used the Campania Regional Ocean Model coupled with a Lagrangian particle tracking algorithm to simulate three-dimensional transport of microplastics of varying size and density in the Gulf of Naples during winter and summer 2016. The simulations reveal how seasonal hydrological differences and polymer properties drive distinct horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns for microplastics in this heavily anthropogenically stressed coastal sea.
A coupled Lagrangian-Eulerian model for microplastics as vectors of contaminants applied to the Mediterranean Sea
AI summary Read the abstract
A coupled Lagrangian-Eulerian ocean model was developed to simulate microplastics as vectors for adsorbed chemical contaminants in the Mediterranean Sea, tracking plastic particle trajectories alongside pollutant exchange dynamics. The model demonstrates that microplastics can transport contaminants across basin-scale distances and deliver them to organisms far from the original pollution source.
