Projects

We have been collecting water samples from the Scripps Pier every week since 2020 to create a time series for total mercury, methylmercury, and dimethylmercury. With this data, we hope to understand the underlying dynamics driving mercury speciation in these productive surface waters. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
