Assessment of Hg Speciation Changes in the Sedimentary Rock Record From Thermal Desorption Characteristics

Abstract Sedimentary mercury (Hg) has become a widely used proxy for paleo‐volcanic activity. However, scavenging and drawdown of Hg by organic‐matter (OM) and sulfides are important non‐volcanic factors determining variability in such records. Most studies, therefore, normalize total Hg (HgT) to a...
