Slide presentation describing microcosm "shake and bake" experiments at Chesapeake Biological Laboratory to estimate mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) release during sediment resuspension. Treatments varied resuspension duration and DOC additions; measurements included total and dissolved Hg/MeHg, TSS, and sediment concentrations. Results show MeHg generally tracked TSS, little net MeHg release on resuspension, and low dissolved MeHg after 96 hours, with modest increases in some DOC-amended treatments.
