New team member: On December 1st, Alessandra Cera started her MSCA funded project “Analysis of FLOATing microplastics: from the atmosphere to lakes” (FLOAT) in our group.

During two years, FLOAT will investigate the emission, transport and deposition of airborne microplastics and their contribution to the contamination of lakes by combining simulations and direct measurements.
