Register Now! SOLAS Seminar X on 22 January 2025, Online The SOLAS seminar series is a quarterly event, which is structured around SOLAS relevant topics covered by the SOLAS 2015-2025 Science Plan and beyond, with the aims of fostering discussions on cutting edge scientific questions, providing researchers at all career stages with the opportunity to interact and building SOLAS community across the globe. The 10th seminar of the series is hosted by SOLAS Italy, SOLAS Early Career Scientist Committee (ECSC) & University of Siena and will be held online from 14:00-15:15 UTC+1 on 22 January 2025. In light of the upcoming SPARSE workshop “Surface PlAstic Remote SEnsing: a way forward for the detection of marine litter and floating matter” (28-30 May 2025, Siena, Italy) funded by ESA-Future Earth Joint Initiative with SOLAS’ sponsorship, this seminar introduces the topic of plastic pollution at key interfaces, at the air-sea interface in particular and in other aquatic environments, and its effects on ecosystems health and fundamental biogeochemical cycles. Since the plastic problem stems from land, identifying hot-spots of plastic accumulation allows for early mitigation strategies. Registration is open and free of charge.
