Abstract Microplastic contamination of river sediments has been found to be pervasive at the global scale and responsive plastic sediment bed properties, flow regime morphology. The physical controls governing storage, remobilization pathways transfer in sand rivers remain unquantified. This means it is not currently possible determine risks posed by microplastic within these globally significant systems. Using controlled flume experiments we show that can store up 40% their load indicating...
Abstract The Barmer Basin is a poorly understood rift basin in Rajasthan, northwest India. Exposures the Sarnoo Hills, situated along central eastern margin of Basin, reveal sedimentary succession that accumulated prior to main event, and rift‐oblique fault network displays unusual geometries characteristics. Here, we present comprehensive study Lower Cretaceous sedimentology on margin, with detailed investigation faults are exposed nowhere else region provide critical insights into...
Abstract Fluvial strata of the Lower Cretaceous Ghaggar‐Hakra Formation are exposed in fault blocks on central‐eastern margin Barmer Basin, Rajasthan. The sedimentology these outcrops described from 114 logs (thicknesses up to 100 m) and 53 two‐dimensional correlation panels. formation comprises three distinct channel belt sandstone packages defined as Darjaniyon‐ki Dhani, Sarnoo Nosar sandstones separated by thick siltstone‐dominated floodplain successions. sediments were deposited a...
Abstract Lower Cretaceous (Aptian‐Albian) sandstones of the Ghaggar‐Hakra Formation in Barmer Basin northwest Rajasthan, India, have a complex depositional history which is confusing given they are quartzose arenites. The heavy mineral grains very well‐rounded, and assemblage dominated by zircon rutile suggesting that sediments been recycled multiple times, whilst presence staurolite indicates metapelite provenance component. Petrographical analysis suggests extreme diagenesis cannot account...
Early career researchers (ECR) face a series of challenges related to the inherent difficulties starting their careers. Microplastic (MP) research is topical field attracting high numbers ECRs with diverse backgrounds and expertise from wealth disciplines including environmental science, biology, chemistry ecotoxicology. In this perspective that could hinder scientific, professional, or personal development are explored, as identified by an international network ECRs, all employed in MP...
<p>Microplastic contamination of river sediments has been found to be pervasive at the global scale however, physical controls governing storage, remobilization and pathways transfer in fluvial remain largely unknown. This is particularly so sand bed rivers where migration bedforms potential both store release any microplastics contained within sediment bed.  Without detailed experiments model movement through, storage within, it impossible understand what...
