Mercury stable isotopes constrain atmospheric sources to the ocean

Mercury deposition pathways from the atmosphere to the ocean remain uncertain, but mercury stable isotope measurements from the Atlantic and Mediterranean show that ocean uptake of gaseous elemental mercury is more important than previously thought.

Mercury fluxes from hydrothermal venting at mid-ocean ridges constrained by measurements

Hydrothermal venting makes limited contribution to the inventory of oceanic mercury compared with anthropogenic inputs, according to measurements at mid-ocean ridges.

Arctic Ocean’s wintertime mercury concentrations limited by seasonal loss on the shelf

The mercury concentration in the Arctic Ocean is lower and less variable in winter than in summer due to seasonal loss of inorganic mercury on the shelf, according to mercury measurements along a gradient in the northern Barents Sea.

Mercury isotope evidence for Arctic summertime re-emission of mercury from the cryosphere

Arctic warming thaws permafrost, leading to enhanced soil mercury transport to the Arctic Ocean. Mercury isotope signatures in arctic rivers, ocean and atmosphere suggest that permafrost mercury is buried in marine sediment and not emitted to the global atmosphere

Deep sea cold seeps are a sink for mercury and source for methylmercury

Seafloor cold seeps can act as a sink for mercury and a source for methylmercury in the deep ocean, according to the results from geochemical and geomicrobiological analysis of sediments of the Haima cold seep in the South China Sea.
