Evaluating microplastic presence in the vicinity of Citarum River Dams, West Java: A comprehensive analysis (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Citarum River travels north westwards from the source in the Wayang-Windu Mountains into the Jakarta Bay and the Java Sea. Once considered the most polluted river in the world the communities around the Citarum River have been involved in the Cit...

How are microplastics incorporated in fluvial sedimentary structures (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It's predicted there will be ~1.3 billion-tonnes of microplastics (MPs) in the environment by 2040, with rivers transporting 95% into the ocean; this is much higher than previously thought. MPs pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems and could become par... Read More about How are microplastics incorporated in fluvial sedimentary structures.

Storage of MPs in Channel sediments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work aims to understand where microplastics (MPs) are stored within rivers. MPs are becoming prevalent in the news as studies are finding up to 14 million-tonnes of MPs on the ocean floor (Barrett et al., 2020). This is an issue as rivers drain...
