Researchers deploy AI to monitor the trajectory of ocean waste


Financed by the United Nations, the new virtual tool, which has been christened World's Ocean Litter, maps the effects of currents on marine waste and predicts where it is likely to wash ashore. — AFP Relaxnews

Real-time monitoring of the millions of tonnes of plastic floating in the world’s oceans: this was the objective set by a team of American researchers, who have created a virtual tool to determine the trajectory of marine waste.

The research project, which has published results in the journal Frontiers In Marine Science, was coordinated by Eric Chassignet, the director of the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) and a professor at the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University in the United States.
