Assessing the impact factors and corresponding weights affecting the coastal morphology of Hsinchu Coast, Taiwan J. Sea Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-08-10 Wei Po Huang, Jui Chan Hsu, Chun Jhen Ye
This study investigates the long-term morphological pattern of the Hsinchu coast in northwestern Taiwan using three different methods: long-term isobath and shoreline change analysis, bathymetric volume change analysis, and the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method. Our objectives include analyzing and understanding the effects of anthropogenic structures, natural processes, and their combined

Influence of intrinsic plastics characteristics on Nile Red staining and fluorescence J. Sea Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-08-07 Joana C. Prata
Nile Red is a lipophilic staining dye often used in the detection of microplastics in environmental samples. This work evaluated the influence of characteristics of plastic particles collected from sandy beaches (n = 60) on fluorescent emissions after Nile Red staining. Most particles presented medium to high fluorescence (81.6%). Polymer type (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene), weathering
