This process works relatively well for identifying large chunks of plastic in the water, but it\u2019s far less effective at spotting plastic on beaches. Coastal plastic often blends in or is partially buried by sand which makes spotting it much more difficult. And while plastic littering the ocean typically receives more attention, coastal trash can also have serious negative effects on local wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the new plastic detection system comes in. The RMIT (RMIT University in Australia) created a new \u201cspectral index\u201d that looks for patterns of reflected light emanating from plastics. Plastics, specifically, have special attributes in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) electromagnetic spectrum that aren\u2019t present in sand or other organic debris.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future, the researchers want to move these findings out of limited test environments and into the real world. That could mean partnering with other organizations specializing in coastal plastic removal to use their satellite imagery technique.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/science\/plastic-beaches-satelite\/\">Popular Science<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-618\/\">Satellite imaging can now spot plastic trash hiding on beaches<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1112,575,16723,16724],"class_list":["post-134989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-beach","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-trash","tag-satellite-imaging"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
