Unravelling the impact of small-scale eddies on microplastic transport and pathways in the Clyde Scottish Marine Region
Microplastic pollution occurs in about 65% of Scotland’s estuaries and coastal seas [1] and significantly threatens the health of marine life and humans via food chain contaminations [2]. Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
Microplastic contamination of natural soils studied by computer simulation
Background. Contamination by microscopic plastic particles (microplastics) has become one of the foremost issues for the global environment. Read more
Discovery and Development of Biocatalytic Solutions to Mitigate Microplastic Pollution
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Plastic contamination is a great ecological disaster facing modern society; a burden overwhelmingly heaped on the least economically developed countries. Read more
Compostable and oxo-degradable plastics - saviour of the natural environment? An investigation of their long-term fate and ecotoxicity, from land to the deep sea.
Plastic waste is transported by wind, water and ice, in terrestrial and marine environments. Certain environments may act as longer term ‘sinks’ for plastics, e.g., the deep seafloor (kms deep), whilst others may only be temporary, e.g. Read more
Atmospheric transport and orographic rainfall of microplastics
Microplastics are transported in the natural environment by a wide range of processes and as a consequence are found in all environments, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, in urban environments and polar ice caps. Read more
Computational modelling of melting plastic particle flows: fundamental physics, reactor design and topology optimisations
Industrial Partner. Aquapak. Industrial Supervisor. Cloudia Mejie, Aquapak. Duration of the PhD. 4 years. Project Description. Read more
Modelling slip bands and short crack growth in Ni-based superalloys using discrete crystal plasticity
In metal fatigue, microplastic strain localisation leads to the formation of discrete slip bands, which contribute to the initiation and propagation of short cracks. Read more
