Mercury content in floodplain sediments from the Yukon River Basin, Alaska, 2022 ...
Due to atmospheric circulation and preservation of organic matter, large amounts of mercury (Hg) are stored in permafrost regions. Due to rapid warming and thawing permafrost in the Arctic, this Hg may be released, potentially degrading water quality and impacting human health. River bank erosion in...
