Unprecedented increases in total and methyl mercury concentrations downstream of retrogressive thaw slumps in the western Canadian Arctic
Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) are thermokarst features created by the rapid thaw of ice-
rich permafrost, and can mobilize vast quantities of sediments and solutes downstream …

Drivers of mercury cycling in the rapidly changing glacierized watershed of the high Arctic's largest lake by volume (Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada)
Across the Arctic, glaciers are melting and permafrost is thawing at unprecedented rates,
releasing not only water to downstream aquatic systems, but also contaminants like mercury …

Snowmelt sources of methylmercury to high arctic ecosystems
LL Loseto, DRS Lean, SD Siciliano - Environmental science & …, 2004 - ACS Publications
Mercury in humans and other top predators living in the Arctic is present at elevated levels.
Since only methylmercury (MeHg) bioaccumulates in food chains, sources of MeHg need to …
