Join Rising Sea Voices’ host Felicia Olmeta-Schult and Dr. Delphine Lobelle, physical oceanographer and post-doctoral researcher at Utrecht University in The Netherlands, to talk microplastics! In this episode, Delphine explains what microplastics are and her work on computer simulations that estimate where microplastics will end up in the ocean. It happens that algal growth on microplastics has an important role to play. Delphine does not stop there. She strongly believes that stakeholder engagement, scientific communication and collaborations, and synergies at the nexus of society, policy, and science are necessary to take effective actions in the clean-up and management of plastics. Outside of her postdoc, she dedicates time to inform and connect people via webinars, a global summit, and an intergenerational network so we can together find ocean solutions.
