Plastic Particles Are Contaminating Our Oceans | What This Chemist Has Discovered
Joining us today is Dr. Michael Gonsior, a tenured associate professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. With a background in analytical chemistry and engineering, Dr. Gonsior found his passion in water chemistry, and he is using his knowledge to research the ocean at a molecular level.
Dr. Gonsior has worked all over the world studying marine biogeochemistry, specifically trying to characterize “dissolved organic matter” in the ocean – a material researchers are still trying to understand…
Jump into the conversation now to uncover:
How microplastic accumulates in the global ocean.
The organic matter that researchers are finding in the ocean, and where it comes from.
Why we must rethink the age of the deep ocean, and how old it may actually be.
How viruses influence the growth of algae.
