abstract="This thesis improves quantification of microplastics (MP) in aquatic sediments by developing comparable, management-relevant inventory estimates. Sediment analyses in two Baltic estuaries (Warnow and Schlei) reveal a robust grain-size--MP relationship, enabling granulometric normalisation that accounts for hydrodynamic bias. A machine-learning--based predictive modelling pipeline uses grain size, water depth and spatio-temporal discontinuity to map MP distributions from limited observations. The work is supported by validated laboratory workflows, novel separation and immobilisation methods.<eng>",
