Figures from Goldstein 2012 dissertation depicting microplastic in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Summary
These unpublished figures from a 2012 doctoral dissertation document microplastic abundance in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, providing early visual data on plastic accumulation in this major ocean garbage patch.
These are unpublished figures from my 2012 doctoral dissertation. They didn't find a place in the published manuscripts, but I thought they might be useful, so I am placing them here. Please see the dissertation, linked below, for further methodological details. If you refer to these figures, please cite the dissertation as follows: Goldstein, M.C. 2012. Abundance and ecological implications of microplastic debris in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Ph.D. dissertation. Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA.
