Bulk sediment parameters during POLARSTERN cruise PS93.2

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset provides bulk sediment parameters collected during the POLARSTERN cruise PS93.2 in the Arctic, supplementing the study by Bergmann et al. (2017) that reported high quantities of microplastic in Arctic deep-sea sediments from the HAUSGARTEN Observatory. The data was published in PANGAEA and supports analysis of microplastic contamination in deep-sea sediment environments.

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset provides sea ice concentration measurements during the POLARSTERN cruise PS93.2 in the Arctic, supplementing Bergmann et al. (2017), which investigated high quantities of microplastic in Arctic deep-sea sediments from the HAUSGARTEN Observatory. The data enables correlation of sea ice conditions with microplastic distribution patterns in the Arctic Ocean.

Microplastics in Arctic deep-sea sediments from the HAUSGARTEN observatory

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers found microplastics in deep-sea sediments at the HAUSGARTEN observatory in the Arctic at depths of 2,340 to 5,570 meters, demonstrating that plastic pollution has reached even the most remote polar deep-sea environments far from human activity.

Microplastics prevail at all ocean depths of the HAUSGARTEN observatory (Arctic)

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers deployed large-volume water pumps at four depths from the sea surface to near the seafloor at five stations in the Arctic HAUSGARTEN observatory, finding microplastics at all depths across all stations. The results confirm that microplastic contamination extends throughout the entire water column in even remote Arctic deep-sea environments.
