Hyperspectral sensing to link coastal soil contamination by nano- and microplastics to marine pollution

What motivates us

460 mi ton

of plastics are produced annually

8 a 10 mi ton

are carried by the waters until they reach the sea

50-75 tri

is the estimated amount of plastic pieces in the oceans

How we do it

We have a multidisciplinary team specialized in soil sciences

We use the power of infrared to detect what we cannot see

We employ the most modern data processing

We facilitate pollution monitoring in coastal areas

The SensNexus project: Hyperspectral sensing to link coastal soil contamination by nano- and microplastics to marine pollution (UNESCO Nº. 92.4. Hyperspectral sensing of coastal soils) - process Nº. CNPq 408901/2022-5 - was awarded the Endorsement of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), as a project part of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021 – 2030.
