Tracking Ocean Microplastics From Space

The researchers from the University of Michigan using NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (a network of eight microsatellites) have been able to detect and track large quantities of microplastics across the ocean's surface. I hope the research will help responsible cleanup activities and be part of an efficient tracking and managing microplastic pollution.
