Plastics represent one of the most serious environmental threats facing the world today. Our research group investigates the impacts of plastics on marine ecosystems, including deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems and blue carbon ecosystems.
The following topics highlight our main research areas related to plastic pollution:
Plastic cycles and blue carbon ecosystems
Linking feeding types of cetaceans to microplastic (MP) exposure associated with bisphenol A (BPA)
Comparative analysis of microplastics in lung and intestinal contents of finless porpoises
