Mercury stocks in discontinuous permafrost and their mobilization by river migration in the Yukon River Basin

Mercury stocks in discontinuous permafrost and their mobilization by river migration in the Yukon River Basin

Rapid warming in the Arctic threatens to destabilize mercury (Hg) deposits contained within soils in permafrost regions. Yet current estimates of the amount of Hg in permafrost vary by ∼4 times. Moreover, how Hg will be released to the environment as permafrost thaws remains poorly known, despite th...
