What We Do
We conduct world-class research in the atmospheric mercury cycle. A cornerstone of our work is a state-of-the-art modeling system that tracks mercury emission sources and links these emissions to atmospheric transport, transformation, and deposition. We also conduct long-term intensive monitoring of mercury in ambient air. Data collected are analyzed to gain useful insights into the origin, transport, and deposition of atmospheric mercury and for interpreting and evaluating our mercury modeling system. Our mercury products and services directly support air quality decision-makers, air quality forecasters, and the mercury research community.
