Crossing Borders/Crossing Boundaries: From Source to Sink Mercury is a global pollutant, traveling great distances, in many forms as it is transported through the environment. What are the critical steps in this journey that determine the fate of natural and anthropogenic mercury emissions? What are the major areas of uncertainty that warrant further research? This session invites oral and poster presentations on environmental mercury research. The oral presentation session will conclude with a brief panel discussion involving all oral presenters. Topics might include:
• Natural and anthropogenic sources of mercury • Local through global scale studies • Methylation and bioaccumulation • Transformations and sources of mercury in the marine
environment PURPOSE: To explore creative ways to educate people about mercury in our environment and ways to minimize its hazardous potential to humans and the environment. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches from inside and outside of academia relating to mercury – its history, science, policy, economics, artistic representation, and global impact.
