attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Open ocean precipitation was collected during the summer cruise using a manual\ncollection method. The samples from the Island of Hawaii were collected in\n2005 at the Hakalau Wildlife Refuge and at the Nature Conservancy Ka\\u2019u\nPreserve. Procedural field blanks were collected periodically during the\nsampling campaign using 1L of de-ionized water.\n \nAfter collection all the samples were oxidized with 1% BrCl (wt/v) and allowed\nto react with the water sample in dark, refrigerated storage for a minimum of\none month. Then, the samples were analyzed for THg concentrations using cold\nvapor - atomic fluorescence spectrophotometry.\n \nFor THg isotope determination the oxidized precipitation samples were\nsubsequently reduced, purged and trapped into 1% KMnO4 solution for isotope\nanalysis. The 1% KMnO4 solution was analyzed for Hg stable isotope composition\nusing a multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.\n \nAll the methods are detailed in Motta et al., (2019).

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_1_description String A Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescent Spectrophotometer (CVAFS) is an instrument used for quantitative determination of volatile heavy metals, such as mercury. CVAFS make use of the characteristic of mercury that allows vapor measurement at room temperature. Mercury atoms in an inert carrier gas are excited by a collimated UV light source at a particular wavelength. As the atoms return to their non-excited state they re-radiate their absorbed energy at the same wavelength. The fluorescence may be detected using a photomultiplier tube or UV photodiode.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF award abstract:\nMercury is a pervasive trace element that exists in several states in the marine environment, including monomethylmercury (MMHg), a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates in marine organisms and poses a human health threat. Understanding the fate of mercury in the ocean and resulting impacts on ocean food webs requires understanding the mechanisms controlling the depths at which mercury chemical transformations occur. Preliminary mercury analyses on nine species of marine fish from the North Pacific Ocean indicated that intermediate waters are an important entry point for MMHg into open ocean food webs. To elucidate the process controlling this, researchers will examine mercury dynamics in regions with differing vertical dissolved oxygen profiles, which should influence depths of mercury transformation. Results of the study will aid in a better understanding of the pathways by which mercury enters the marine food chain and can ultimately impact humans. This project will provide training for graduate and undergraduate students, and spread awareness on oceanic mercury through public outreach and informal science programs.\nMercury isotopic variations can provide insight into a wide variety of environmental processes. Isotopic compositions of mercury display mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) during most biotic and abiotic chemical reactions and mass-independent fractionation (MIF) during photochemical radical pair reactions. The unusual combination of MDF and MIF can provide information on reaction pathways and the biogeochemical history of mercury. Results from preliminary research provide strong evidence that net MMHg formation occurred below the surface mixed layer in the pycnocline and suggested that MMHg in low oxygen intermediate waters is an important entry point for mercury into open ocean food webs. These findings highlight the critical need to understand how MMHg levels in marine biota will respond to changes in atmospheric mercury emissions, deposition of inorganic mercury to the surface ocean, and hypothesized future expansion of oxygen minimum zones. Using field collections across ecosystems with contrasting biogeochemistry and mercury isotope fractionation experiments researchers will fill key knowledge gaps in mercury biogeochemistry. Results of the proposed research will enable scientists to assess the biogeochemical controls on where in the water column mercury methylation and demethylation likely occur.\nRelated background publication with supplemental data section:\nJoel D.
