Francesca Verones spent July and August 2022 on Oahu and Big Island, Hawaii for a research visit to continue working on the issues of how plastic pollution is affecting the marine ecosystem. She focused especially on how plastic and invasive species are perceived to impact important marine ecosystem services in

In July, Marthe Høiberg had the pleasure to attend the fourth ICES/PICES Early Career Scientist Conference, taking place in St. Johns on Newfoundland, Canada. As revealed by the name, this is a conference dedicated to giving a platform to young researchers and encourage their involvement specifically in the management

Several members of the ATLANTIS project attended the SETAC Europe 32nd annual meeting in Copenhagen this year. We presented our recent progress in the development of characterisation factors for life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) and the MarINvaders toolkit and database, meanwhile we were inspired by other researchers and met associates

An important component of the ATLANTIS project is the development of global models for impacts of plastic debris on marine ecosystems, in accordance with the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) framework. As a means towards achieving this goal, we have developed an indicator of potential macroplastic entanglement impact levels, which

Although marine plastic pollution is a well-recognized and highly visible problem, impact models for most of the main impacts from plastic litter are still lacking within Life Cycle Assessment. To coordinate research progress, and to ensure that the impacts are modelled in a harmonized way, Woods et al. developed

Humans have been utilizing oceans for centuries, yet little is know about the impacts raised by anthropogenic stressors. This PhD program is about to develop models quantifying human's impacts, especially invasive species and marine plastic debris, on ecosystem services within the LCIA framework.

On 24 March 2021 the first, virtual, ATLANTIS workshop was held. The workshop had almost 30 attendees and a very diverse speaker list from around the world. After a general introduction into the project, life cycle assessment and the current framework for including plastic waste into life cycle impact assessment

Which item in your life can be a common pollutant? If you were being questioned, you may immediately think of Plastic. Yes, plastic is very widely used in our life and pollution due to plastic has been an emerging, global environmental problem in the past few decades. Among all the
