Seasonal variation of mercury and its isotopes in atmospheric particles at the coastal Zhongshan Station, Eastern Antarctica

C Li, J Chen, H Angot, W Zheng, G Shi… - Environmental …, 2020 - ACS Publications
Mercury (Hg) is a globally spread trace metal due to its long atmospheric residence time.
Yet, our understanding of atmospheric processes (eg, redox reactions and deposition) …

A “seabird-eye” on mercury stable isotopes and cycling in the Southern Ocean

M Renedo, P Bustamante, Y Cherel, Z Pedrero… - Science of the Total …, 2020 - Elsevier
Since mercury (Hg) biogeochemistry in the Southern Ocean is minimally documented, we
investigated Hg stable isotopes in the blood of seabirds breeding at different latitudes in the …
