My work aimed to reassess global river microplastic fluxes and analyze their fate in the Mediterranean Sea. I developed an empirical global model combining observations, statistical regressions and river basin geomatics to correct methodological biases of literature models and reassess river microplastic inputs to the oceans. By applying this model to the Mediterranean Sea and investigating the physical properties of river microplastics, I simulated their dispersion with varying 3D behavior in currents. I quantified transfers between Mediterranean sub-basins and the seasonal dispersion of the microplastic plume exported by the Rhone River, highlighting the influence of fine-scale structures on concentration gradients from the continental shelf to the north-Balearic frontal zone.
