Published purpose
The aim of this Project is to support the development of an instrument that can be deployed in the marine environment and can detect, measure the size of and characterize ocean microplastics in situ and in real time, to improve the measurement and monitoring of this type of ocean pollution. This will entail the development in the laboratory of underwater spectroscopy and imaging techniques for detecting, measuring and characterizing particles under significant seawater flow conditions and the laboratory demonstration of this technology using a prototype.
