Riverine export into the ocean contributes greatly to global microplastic (MP) contamination, yet little is known about the dynamic variation of MP in the water columns of estuarine systems. To increase our understanding of this process, we sampled during four seasons at ebb and flood tides the...

Harmless disposal and reutilization of municipal solid attract growing interest due to the increasing waterworks sludge and limited landfill space. As a solid waste produced in the process of tap water treatment, waterworks sludge has been found to have excellent phosphorus adsorption capacity....

Emergency salvage operations shall be carried out for sunken ships that have caused many adverse effects on the marine ecological environment and the passage of ships in the sea areas. The marine emergency salvage scheme needs an intelligent auxiliary support method. Therefore, this paper...
