Salinity-driven stratification enhances riverine mercury export to the coastal ocean
{{output}}
Rivers transport 300 to 5000 Mg of mercury (Hg) annually to coastal oceans through estuaries, contributing 20-45% of total Hg input, with 100 to 1500 Mg reaching the open ocean. However, the impact of estuarine circulation and stratification on Hg transport an... ...
