The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

Virtually all biotic, dark abiotic, and photochemical transformations of mercury (Hg) produce
Hg isotope fractionation, which can be either mass dependent (MDF) or mass independent …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Forests mediate the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) between the atmosphere and
terrestrial ecosystems; however, there remain many gaps in our understanding of these …

In Walden, Thoreau1 noted that “the largest pond is as sensitive to atmospheric changes as
the globule of mercury in its tube”. Here, we consider the modern understanding of the …

Mercury (Hg) isotopes can be used as tracers of Hg biogeochemical pathways in the
environment. The photochemical reduction of aqueous Hg species by natural sunlight leads …

High-precision measurements of natural variations in the stable isotopic composition of
mercury show great promise as a new tracer of mercury sources and chemical …

Equilibrium stable isotope fractionations of mercury and thallium are estimated for
molecules, atoms and ions using first-principles vibrational frequency and electronic …

Atmospheric deposition is a primary pathway by which mercury (Hg) enters terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems; however, the chemical and meteorological processes that Hg …

Photoreduction of Hg in natural water plays a crucial role in the production of elemental Hg
and its biogeochemical cycle. Solar irradiation and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in water …
