🔊Paper out today with @nature.com!
Despite decreasing emissions 🌏 mercury levels are rising in some species. Hg Isotopes could reveal why.
Our new research shows ocean currents, may now be the main source of mercury in Arctic ecosystems. 🌐🧪🐻❄️🐋 @au.dk

Stable isotopes unveil ocean transport of legacy mercury into Arctic food webs - Nature Communications
Mercury pollution in the Arctic has reached toxic levels. Here, the authors compile mercury isotope data from peat and aquatic predator species collected across Greenland over the past 40 years, obser...

My colleagues at AU ecoscience do amazing things with the Arctic Monitoring Assessment Program. AMAP constantly works to update reports on the status of a changing Arctic Environment. They also make readable summaries for policy makers, also informative and interesting for everyone.

My first fieldwork activity in my new position at AU’s marine mammal research section! 🐻❄️🐬🦭@marinemammalsau.bsky.social
The grey seal is back in Denmark after nearly a century!🦭
