The main aim of this study is to create background information on the geochemistry of mercury in the Kongsfjorden sediments which will support the ongoing mercury studies in this area and provide a platform for the studies on mercury geochemistry in the perspective of climate change. Also this study aims to understand the bioavailability of mercury in the sediments. 1. To study the speciation of mercury in the sediments ? physical (fractionation) and chemical (inorganic, organic-methyl mercury, total mercury) 2. To understand the fractionation of mercury in the sediments and its geochemical relation with the physicochemical parameters like S, Fe, Organic Carbon, humic acids, pH and temperature in the sediments of Kongsfjorden 3. To assess the mercury content variations with respect to grain size variation in sediments 4. To assess the bioavailability of deposited mercury in the sediment 5. To assess the mercury content in benthic biota (benthic food web) On going Dr. Mahesh Mohan National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) +91-481-2732120 Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND mahises@gmail.com Principal investigator Earth Science-Marine Science Theme Ny-Alesund Arctic Place Mercury Geochemistry in the sediments of Kongsfjorden Project English oceans 20.0 140.0 -90.0 30.0 2013-01-01 2014-12-31 TableDigital unknown unknown Mr. Sakthivel Samy V National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) +91-832-2525515 Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND vssamy@ncpor.res.in Distributor http://npdc.ncaor.gov.in/npdc/search_mf_data.action?search=freeText&expedition_type=all&parameter=MF1830609505&userType=user&freeTextValue=Mercury+Geochemistry+in+the+sediments+of+Kongsfjorden%2C+Ny+Alesund%2C+Arctic
