This project investigates long-term trends in total suspended solids (TSS) and mercury in TSS (i.e., particulate mercury, PHg) from 1974–2018 in eight major Russian rivers within the pan-Arctic watershed. River water samples were collected approximately monthly from the near-surface (0–0.5 m) and pr...
