Just a reminder of today's talk at the Scientific Computing Department 
(4th floor of Dirac library) at 3:30 (tea is served at 3).

*Abstract: *
The world's ocean currents can potentially transport material like 
plastic over vast scales, connecting sources on one continent to impacts 
on another. On the other hand, it had recently become clear that most 
plastics found at any particular location are relatively local, often 
originating from within the same country. Effective policies to reduce 
the impact of plastic pollution require knowledge of whose plastic ends 
up where.

In this seminar, I will present some recent work on using a Bayesian 
framework to analyze the sources of plastics found on beaches around the 
world. The input to this analysis comes from Lagrangian ocean analysis 
simulations with the OceanParcels.org <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://oceanparcels.org/__;!!PhOWcWs!0pKbNoDftqaxGNAOGZG0C1_P8ZipPSd15HMK5K0_CYX34Uoxg8DFIcLlyUEtuy5yuBB9T8oNzaVzsK9uj20Sm-38Qy-u$ > tool, 
which I will also showcase. I will particularly highlight results from 
the Indian Ocean, the Galapagos, the South Atlantic and the North Sea.
