RP-NASS-2026-003
Academic Lead:
Co-academic leads:
Duration:
January 2026 – June 2026 (6 months)
Collaboration:
Research objectives：
Identify Major Pollution Sources: Analyze the distribution and transport mechanisms of key pollutants (e.g., microplastics, oil spills, industrial effluents, agricultural runoff).
Assess Ecological and Socioeconomic Impacts: Evaluate effects on marine ecosystems (e.g., coral reefs, fish stocks) and coastal communities (e.g., fisheries, tourism, human health).
Develop Sustainable Solutions: Propose evidence-based interventions, including policy frameworks (e.g., plastic bans, emission regulations), technological innovations (e.g., biodegradable materials, cleanup technologies), and international collaborations.
Subtopics：
- Major Sources of Marine Pollution and Their Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns
- Multiscale Ecological Impacts of Marine Pollution on EcosystemsSustainable Governance Strategies for Marine Pollution via Multi - Stakeholder Collaboration
Keywords：
- Fieldwork: Water/sediment sampling, drone/GIS monitoring.
- Lab Work: Spectroscopy, toxicity assays.
- Modeling: Ecological risk assessment, pollution dispersion simulations.
- Social Science: Surveys/interviews with stakeholders.
Expected Outcomes：
- Academic: Peer-reviewed publications, books
- Practical: Policy recommendations for governments/NGOs, community awareness materials.
- Innovation: Prototypes or pilot studies for pollution mitigation technologies (if applicable).
