International Conference on Microplastics and Climate Change Interactions (ICM2CI - 26)

This track will explore the distribution and impact of microplastics in marine environments, focusing on their effects on marine biodiversity and ecosystem health. Studies on the interactions between microplastics and marine organisms will be highlighted to understand the implications for food webs.

This session will investigate how climate change influences the behavior and distribution of microplastics in various ecosystems. Research on the interplay between ocean warming, acidification, and microplastic transport will be discussed.

This track will address the bioaccumulation of microplastics in aquatic organisms and the subsequent toxicological effects on marine life. Presentations will focus on laboratory and field studies that reveal the implications for human health and food safety.

This session will examine the role of sediment transport in the distribution of microplastics in aquatic environments. Research on sediment dynamics and the fate of microplastics in riverine and coastal systems will be presented.

This track will focus on the mechanisms of trophic transfer of microplastics through food webs, highlighting the implications for higher trophic levels. Studies that quantify the transfer efficiency and ecological consequences will be featured.

This session will present advanced modeling approaches to predict the fate and transport of microplastics in various ecosystems. Discussions will include the integration of climate change variables into microplastic pollution models.

This track will explore innovative strategies and technologies aimed at mitigating microplastic pollution in aquatic environments. Case studies on successful interventions and policy frameworks will be discussed.

This session will focus on methodologies for assessing the ecological risks posed by microplastics in different habitats. Presentations will include risk assessment frameworks and their application in policy development.

This track will investigate the anthropogenic factors contributing to microplastic pollution and their ecological consequences. Studies on urban runoff, waste management practices, and their effects on microplastic levels will be highlighted.

This session will address the sustainability challenges posed by microplastics and explore management strategies that promote environmental resilience. Discussions will include the role of community engagement and policy in sustainable practices.

This track will examine the relationship between microplastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on feedback mechanisms in climate systems. Research on how microplastics influence carbon cycling and climate change will be presented.
