Data used in Abundance of non-conservative microplastics in the upper ocean in the past present and future

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a dataset supporting the Van Sebille et al. modeling study of non-conservative microplastic abundance in the upper ocean across past, present, and future scenarios, including data for all figures and supplementary information. The dataset enables reproduction and extension of the modeling results on long-term trends in ocean microplastic accumulation.

Study Type Environmental

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset provides mapped abundance and mass estimates of floating microplastics across the global ocean surface, compiled from three different numerical models (Maximenko, Lebreton, Van Sebille) as part of a 2015 Environmental Research Letters study. The data enables comparison of model predictions for where microplastics accumulate in ocean gyres.

Abundance of non-conservative microplastics in the upper ocean from 1957 to 2066

AI summary Read the abstract

A combination of numerical modeling and transoceanic microplastic surveys from 1957 to 2015 was used to project Pacific Ocean microplastic abundance through 2066, showing ongoing accumulation particularly in the North Pacific as a result of removal processes (sinking, fragmentation) being slower than inputs. The study demonstrates that ocean microplastic levels will continue to rise under current emission trajectories.
