Hg dataset over the Third Pole Shichang Kang et al. https://doi.org/10.12072/ncdc.qzkk.db6654.2024
Short summary
The Third Pole is a critical region for studying global mercury (Hg) cycling due to its extensive cryosphere. This comprehensive dataset-spanning air, aerosols, precipitation, glaciers, soils, surface waters, ice cores, and sediments-was collected through the Atmospheric Pollution and Cryospheric Change program. It reveals spatial and temporal Hg patterns influenced by emissions, transport, and deposition processes. The data support interdisciplinary research on multi-sphere interactions.
