The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia (2024)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Hackney, C. R., Cumming, V. M., Waller, C., Hak, D., Dorrell, R., Hung, N. N., & Parsons, D. R. (2025). The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia. Journal of hazardous materials, 484, Article 136762. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136762

Rivers are primary vectors of plastic debris to oceans, but sources, transport mechanisms, and fate of fluvial microplastics (<5 mm) remain poorly understood, impeding accurate predictions of microplastic flux, ecological risk and socio-economic impa...

The ecological fate of microplastic in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, a sub-Antarctic island (2023)
Thesis
Buckingham, J. The ecological fate of microplastic in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, a sub-Antarctic island. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4347844

Microplastic is a marine pollutant of global concern which has managed to penetrate remote regions. This thesis describes the first comprehensive assessment of microplastics in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, an island in the s...

Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology (2020)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Henry, T., Burdett, H., Hackney, C., Waller, C., Parsons, D., & Hennige, S. (2021). Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology. Environmental pollution, 269, Article 116238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.116238

There is evidence that microplastic (MP) pollution can negatively influence coral health; however, mechanisms are unknown and most studies have used MP exposure concentrations that are considerably higher than current environmental conditions. Furthe... Read More about Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology.
