Submarine Groundwater Discharge: An Overlooked but Quantifiable Pathway for Microplastics Inputs to the Coastal Ocean
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a dataset record for a study demonstrating that submarine groundwater discharge—freshwater and seawater seeping through coastal sediments into the ocean—is a previously overlooked but measurable pathway delivering microplastics directly to the coastal ocean, bypassing surface water monitoring entirely.

Microplastic flux through submarine groundwater discharge in a subterranean estuary of Southwest India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated submarine groundwater discharge as a transport pathway for microplastics in a subterranean estuary on the southwest coast of India, finding that this understudied coastal process contributes measurably to marine MP inputs alongside rivers and surface runoff.

Microplastic flux through submarine groundwater discharge in a subterranean estuary of Southwest India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers quantified microplastic flux through submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in a subterranean estuary on the southwest coast of India, identifying this previously overlooked pathway as a conduit for microplastic transport to the marine environment. The study found that SGD delivers substantial quantities of microplastics to coastal waters, with fluxes influenced by tidal dynamics and the mixing of terrestrial groundwater with saline porewater.
Submarine groundwater discharge of microplastics in the transitional environment of southwest India
AI summary Read the abstract
Submarine groundwater discharge — the flow of groundwater directly into the sea — was identified as a pathway for microplastics to enter the ocean in coastal southwest India. This previously overlooked transport route could be carrying significant quantities of microplastics from land-based sources into near-shore marine environments. The discovery opens a new area of research into how groundwater movement contributes to ocean microplastic pollution.
