About
From basic concentration to advanced isotopic fingerprinting of mercury sources, the USGS Mercury Research Laboratory has been a pioneer in the field since 1994. We primarily support research and monitoring projects of the USGS in the collection and analysis of mercury samples using ultra-trace-level methods. We also collaborate with other federal agencies, academic institutions, and stakeholders.
