Mercury Source Tracing and Mechanistic Source Studies

Slide deck presenting field and laboratory studies (2006–2007) at the South River Basic Park and plant reach to identify mercury sources and mechanisms mobilizing bioavailable mercury. Methods include surface and porewater sampling, hyporheic surveys, extractions, ultrafiltration, amended benthic flux chambers, and alluvial groundwater monitoring, with indications about sediment-associated Hg and hyporheic exchange.
