Microplastics in Glaciers: First Results from the Vatnajökull Ice Cap

Microplastic particles, as a second-phase material in ice, may contribute to the effect such particles have on the melting and rheological behaviour of glaciers, and thus influence the future meltwater contribution to the oceans and rising sea levels.
