Assessment of Hg speciation changes in the sedimentary rock record from thermal desorption characteristics

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 Hg “host-...
