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. %L 004 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00005704 %U https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005704 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005704
