A 1500-year record of mercury isotopes in seal feces documents sea ice changes in the Antarctic

Abstract Temporal and spatial variations in sea ice coverage at high Northern Hemisphere latitudes have been shown to affect the photodegradation of methylmercury in seawater and the mercury isotope signatures in biological samples, suggesting the potential of mercury isotopes to reconstruct sea ice...
