Poet T. S. Eliot, his mind fixed on human salvation whilst in the midst of misery wrought by WWII, penned: We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be

Measuring gaseous elemental mercury in regional background air
Observations of background levels of atmospheric mercury are important to help inform modelling of land-ocean-atmosphere interactions and the role the Australian region plays in global mercury cycling. Continuous measurement of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), which
Mercury, the ancient Maya, and global histories of preindustrial mercury.
Elevated mercury concentrations in the surface environment continues to attract increasing research attention worldwide. Like many heavy metals, anthropogenic mercury in the environment today may have a complicated and often unknown story of how it
Assessing mercury sediment quality targets using lake sediment cores
As many members of the Mercury Australia team have previously found, many waterways around the world are experiencing increasing levels of mercury. High mercury levels in waterways lead to dire environmental and public health consequences.
Millenary environmental record of mercury concentration in Australian coastal waters
Natural archives can be used to reconstruct the trends of mercury (Hg) fluxes over temporal and spatial scales. However, the majority of studies have been carried out in the Northern Hemisphere, with only a small
Historical mercury production in Australia
Australia is rich in most minerals but not cinnabar (mercuric sulphide, HgS). The Australian continent features similar geological settings to the main historical mercury-producing regions in Spain (Almaden), Slovenia (Idria) and California (New Almaden and
