Understanding macro-plastic pollution in Nuuk Fjord, Greenland

In Summer 2022 I went on exchange for a summer course on plastic pollution in the marine Arctic, hosted by UArctic and Aarhus University. Over the course of 10 days my peers and I worked to understand the sources, dynamics, and impacts of macro-plastic pollution in Nuuk Fjord, West Greenland.

The work resulted in a publication in the Marine Pollution Bulletin (2023) which you can read here.
