Regarding data production, it includes the development of a water sampler and a guideline of modular laboratory protocols for the purification of microplastics. Data assessment is covered by studies on method validation, a concept for analytical interlaboratory comparisons, and contributions to data management. Finally, data utilisation is demonstrated through applications in pollution assessment, modelling, and spatial predictive mapping using machine learning.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="vorgelegt von Robin Lenz", note="Enth{\"a}lt Zeitschriftenartikel", note="GutachterInnen: Matthias Labrenz (Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnem{\"u}nde) ; Sonja Herres-Pawlis (RWTH Aachen)", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2025 Kumulative Dissertation", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00005704", url="https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005704", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005704", language="English" }
