    Description
    Mentor: Dr. Lara Horstmann; Microplastics (particles < 5mm) are present in all oceans. They were isolated from marine mammals harvested by Alaska Natives, making this emerging contaminant concerning for animal and human health. We will analyze bowhead feces and tissues to understand microplastic uptake and accumulation in an endangered Arctic species of subsistence importance.
