塑料垃圾及其对海洋环境的影响已被广泛记录在案，但从陆地进入海洋的数量从前是未知的。通过连接全球固体废物、人口密度和经济状况的数据，我们估计陆地塑料废物进入海洋的质量大约有500-1300万公吨。2017年，全球累计塑料产量达到80亿公吨，64亿公吨已成为废物，使全球一些废物管理系统不堪重负，这些废物管理系统的基础设备无法跟上经济增长。最终，旨在回收利用的塑料废物的全球贸易已经影响到各国如何将塑料作为一种可回收材料加以利用，并在世界范围内产生了经济影响。珍贝克博士将不仅讨论她对塑料废物输入、流动和回收的研究方法和结果，而且还将讨论其对世界各地的相关影响和政策。她将提出一个解决方案框架，同时分享一系列关于集成技术、公民科学、科学传播和社区范围内解决全球塑料污染问题可以做出的努力的故事。

Plastic debris and its impacts in the marine environment have been widely documented, but the quantity entering the ocean from land was previously unknown. By linking worldwide data on solid waste, population density, and economic status, we estimated the mass of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean at 5 – 13 million metric tons. Cumulative global plastic production reached 8 billion metric tons in 2017 and 6.4 billion metric tons has become waste that has overwhelmed some waste management systems around the world that have not been able to keep up infrastructure with economic growth. And finally, the global trade of plastic waste intended for recycling and has influenced what countries can do with plastic as a recycled material with economic impacts worldwide. Dr. Jambeck will not only discuss the methods and results of her research on plastic waste inputs, flows and recovery, but the related impacts and policies around the world. She will present a solution framework while sharing stories of integrating technology and citizen science, science communication, and community-level efforts to address plastic pollution around the globe.

詹娜·珍贝克博士是美国佐治亚大学工程学院教授，新材料学院循环材料管理中心主任，也是国家地理研究员。 她从事固体废弃物研究有20多年，自2001年起参与海洋垃圾项目。她还专注全球垃圾管理和塑料污染的研究。她的研究工作得到全球赞誉，曾被全球海洋委员会纳入政策讨论，为美国国会作证，写入G7和G20宣言中，也编入联合国环境项目中。她在智利，菲律宾，印度尼西亚，日本，南非，越南，约旦，以色列，韩国，印度和台湾和政府见面，和媒体交谈 。她因出色的研究和教学获得佐治亚大学创新研究奖，并得到公共服务和外联奖学金。在2014年，她和其他13位女性一起横渡大西洋，取样陆地和海洋的塑料，并鼓励女性从事科学研究。她是国家地理海源探险的联合领导人，目前和孟加拉和印度的同事们合作。她还是手机软件海洋垃圾跟踪者（Marine Debris Tracker）的研发者之一，这个软件持续支持全球公民科学的热情，已经记录超过一亿垃圾的地点以及清除的海洋垃圾。

Dr. Jenna Jambeck is a Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Georgia (UGA), Director of the Center for Circular Materials Management in the New Materials Institute and a National Geographic Fellow.  She has been conducting research on solid waste issues for over 20 years with related projects on marine debris since 2001.  She also specializes in global waste management issues and plastic contamination. Her research has been recognized by the global community and translated into policy discussions by the Global Ocean Commission, in testimony to U.S. Congress, in G7 and G20 Declarations, and the United Nations Environment program.  She has participated multiple global programs of speaking events, meetings, presentations to governmental bodies, and media outreach in Chile, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, South Africa, Vietnam, Jordan, Israel, South Korea, India and Taiwan.  She has won awards for her teaching and research in the College of Engineering and the UGA Creative Research Medal, as well as a Public Service and Outreach Fellowship.  In 2014 she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean with 13 other women in eXXpedition to sample land and open ocean plastic and encourage women to enter STEM disciplines.  She is co-Lead of the National Geographic Sea-to-Source Expeditions, currently working along the Ganges in Bangladesh and India.  She is co-developer of the mobile app Marine Debris Tracker, a tool that continues to facilitate a growing global citizen science initiative.  The app and citizen science program has documented the location of over one million litter and marine debris items removed from our environment throughout the world.
