Mercury and other trace element wet deposition in Alaska: spatial patterns, controlling factors, and source regions
Obrist D, Pearson C, Moore C. 2016. Mercury and other trace element wet deposition in Alaska: spatial patterns, controlling factors, and source regions
Our team conducted a detailed analysis of wet deposition patterns of mercury from five stations across Alaska and trace metals from three stations to determine the levels of deposition compared to other areas and the factors that influence that deposition. Additionally, we were tasked with making recommendations on how to best monitor the overall deposition of mercury to the State of Alaska. Data was included from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) sites Dutch Harbor (AK00), Nome (AK04), Glacier Bay National Park in Bartlett Cove (AK05), Gates of the Arctic National Park in Bettles (AK06), and Kodiak Island (AK98).
