[1/8] Des chercheurs de l'Université de Lorraine et de l'ENS de Lyon étudient le voyage des plastiques vers les abysses. Leurs travx montrent que des "avalanches" ss-marines transportent les microplastiques des marges continentales vers les grands fonds océaniques. #geography ##microplastic #deepsea
