How to monitor litter and #microplastics in #Arctic mammals and birds: buff.ly/3fA3wBF via Bonnie Hamilton, PhD NIVA Universitetet i Bergen Environment Canada NRS McGill University of Toronto EEB Aarhus University @NorskPolar Nunatsiavut Gov. MUN Geography DGES Acadia Bio Society


It was a great journey with plenty of discussions covering many topics covering many of our projects. EUROqCHARM JPI Oceans FACTS Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy HIDA AWI Medien AWI Schülerlabor OPENSEA NIVA Dr. Amy Lusher Win Cowger, PhD

When you’ve been working on a proposal too long it helps to have your partner do a dramatic movie voiceover of the subject matter: “IN A WORLD where the microplastics are harmonized …” 😂 Will White

A new review on the current microplastic monitoring efforts in the Arctic and where to go next: buff.ly/3TGdIr7 Bonnie Hamilton, PhD Dr. Jennifer Provencher Sjúrður Hammer, PhD 🇫🇴 @[email protected] Havforskningsinstituttet Universitetet i Bergen University of Toronto EEB IVL Environment Canada NORCE NIVA


New #preprint with Martin Ogonowski, Dr. Amy Lusher, MaHa: We compared published toxicity data and found that #microplastics are 10-fold more toxic than natural particles. Many uncertainties though, due to differences in study design/reporting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




New!!! 🤩 ICES Manual for Seafloor Litter Data Collection and Reporting 👇 Nice achievement by the ICES WGML group! Thomas Maes @norway_badger Christopher K. Pham Flanders Marine Institute - VLIZ ILVO @FrancoisGalgani & all amazing members of WGML 💙 @ICES_ASC


Busy few weeks in the life of a #microplastics #researcher, pre-winter break meetings and deadlines, topped off with covid brain fog. I am incredibly proud to be listed alongside some of my long-term collaborators and EUROqCHARM project partners.





Do not miss our webinar focussing on how EUROqCHARM project outcomes can contribute to foster #plasticpollution global database synchronization. 🗓️ April 18 🕣 08.30 - 13.30 CET Not available? Register anyhow so you get the link to the recording afterwards!

New paper on plastic chemicals & their toxicity with Lisbet Sørensen, @norway_badger, Tânia Gomes and other fab ppl: We detected 39–2456 chemical features across 50 products, 3/4 remain unidentified. Chems in rubber products more toxic than other #plastics. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to dive into how our #Horizon2020 project has impacted #plasticpollution policy with key players in the field. Good to hear we have timely reached out to the relevant #MSFD process on updating "Guidance on Monitoring Marine Litter in European Seas" 😃EU_ScienceHub EU Environment
