Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-ecosystem study shows rapid fish-mercury response to changes in mercury deposition
R. Harris,John W. M. Rudd,Marc Amyot,Christopher L. Babiarz,Ken G. Beaty,Paul J. Blanchfield,R.A. Bodaly,Brian A. Branfireun,Cynthia C. Gilmour,Jennifer A. Graydon,Andrew Heyes,Holger Hintelmann,James P. Hurley,Carol A. Kelly,David P. Krabbenhoft,Steve E. Lindberg,Robert P. Mason,Michael J. Paterson,Cheryl L. Podemski,Art Robinson,Ken A. Sandilands,George R. Southworth,Vincent L. St. Louis,Michael T. Tate +23 more
TL;DR: Mercury emissions reductions will yield rapid (years) reductions in fish methylmercury concentrations and will yield concomitant reductions in risk, however, a full response will be delayed by the gradual export of mercury stored in watersheds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of Watershed Characteristics on Mercury Levels in Wisconsin Rivers
James P. Hurley,Janina M. Benoit,Christopher L. Babiarz,Martin M. Shafer,Anders W. Andren,John R. Sullivan,Richard. Hammond,David Webb +7 more
TL;DR: The importance of land use and land cover in influencing Hg concentrations, speciaton, and transport in rivers is identified and the importance of wetland surface area was positively correlated with MeHg yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactivity and Mobility of New and Old Mercury Deposition in a Boreal Forest Ecosystem during the First Year of the METAALICUS Study
Holger Hintelmann,R. Harris,Andrew Heyes,James P. Hurley,Carol A. Kelly,David P. Krabbenhoft,Steve E. Lindberg,John W. M. Rudd,Karen J. Scott,Vincent L. St. Louis +9 more
TL;DR: The initial mobility of mercury received through small rain events or dry deposition decreased markedly in a relatively short time period, suggesting that mercury levels in terrestrial runoff may respond slowly to changes in mercury deposition rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgal Pigment Assessments Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: A Synopsis of Organismal and Ecological Applications
TL;DR: HPLC can accurately characterize phylogenetic groups and changes in community composition and yield information concerning microalgal physiological status, production, trophic interaction, and paleolimnology/paleooceanography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury biogeochemical cycling in a stratified estuary
Robert P. Mason,William F. Fitzgerald,James P. Hurley,Alfred K. Hanson,Percy L. Donaghay,John McN. Sieburth +5 more
TL;DR: In the permanently stratified Pettaquamscutt estuary, 40% of the total Hg was found to be produced by methylation, sedimentation, methylation and HgO production as discussed by the authors.
