However, other ecosystems on Earth are contaminated with microplastics. This study aims to investigate Microplastics in deserts and if microplastics are being transported by wind currents. Our first sampling campaign will be in the Utah dsert during a Mars simulation camp.","html":"<iframe src='https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/dy\/v2\/oembed\/?format=html&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalgiving.org%2Fprojects%2Fmicroplastic-in-the-desert%2F' style='width:920px;height:613px;border:0;'><\/iframe>","type":"rich","title":"Microplastic in the Desert on GlobalGiving","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/pfil\/39898\/pict_large.jpg","version":"1.0","height":"613"}
