DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Ocean currents transport material like nutrients\, p
 lankton and plastic over the globe. The most natural way to study these tr
 ansport pathways in both modern-day and palaeo contexts\, is by simulating
  virtual Lagrangian particles in fine-resolution ocean models. \nIn this s
 eminar\, I will give an overview of some recent work with Lagrangian parti
 cle analysis. I will introduce our open-source parcels-code.org framework 
 and show how we use this framework to simulate the transport of (palaeo)pl
 ankton and micro- and macroplastic\, in order to map their distributions o
 n scales of kilometers. I will discuss how we develop new parameterization
 s for subgrid-scale transport processes of floating material\; and compare
  these parameterizations to field and lab measurements. I will particularl
 y focus on coastal processes and how they control the beaching\, resuspens
 ion and fragmentation of particulate items.
