Sediment and plastic transport

Sediment and plastic are important compounds in aquatic environments, impacting a wide range of social, economic and environmental systems. We study their effect on natural processes and habitats.

We aim to:

  • Predict and forecast transport and fate of sediment and plastics in aquatic environments
  • Develop methods to provide plastic pollution data in rivers, estuaries and coasts
  • Study sediment dynamics across a wide range of grain sizes and environments
  • Connect the fields of sediment and plastic dynamics
