Mercury biogeochemistry in the Idrija River, Slovenia, from above the Mine into the Gulf of Trieste
Mark E. Hines,Milena Horvat,Jadran Faganeli,Jean-Claude J. Bonzongo,Tamar Barkay,E. B. Major,K. J. Scott,E. A. Bailey,John J. Warwick,W. B. Lyons +9 more
TL;DR: Increases in total Hg and MeHg in the estuary demonstrate the remobilization of Hg, presumably as HgS dissolution and recycling, and high Hg levels persist into the Gulf.

Elevated mercury concentrations in soils, sediments, water, and fish of the Madeira River basin, Brazilian Amazon: a function of natural enrichments?
Paul J. Lechler,Jerry R. Miller,Luiz Drude de Lacerda,David S. Vinson,J C Bonzongo,W. B. Lyons,John J. Warwick +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, water, sediments, and fish were collected from the Madeira River upstream to Porto Velho, the site of historic and ongoing mercury amalgamation mining.

Mercury levels in surface waters of the Carson River-Lahontan Reservoir system, Nevada: Influence of historic mining activities.
TL;DR: Water samples collected from a river-reservoir system impacted by historic mine wastes determined total mercury (HgT), methylmercury (MeHg), and other operationally defined Hg species were determined, suggesting either a high percentage of inorganic Hg input from point sources, or low specific rates of MeHg production within the aquatic system.

Simulation of mercury transport and fate in the Carson River, Nevada
Rosemary W.H. Carroll,John J. Warwick,Kenneth J. Heim,J C Bonzongo,Jerry R. Miller,W. B. Lyons +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the US EPA RIVMOD, WASP5 and MERC4 numeric codes were used to predict bank erosion rates and Hg bank concentrations related to longitudinal slope.

The Hg geochemistry of a geothermal stream, Steamboat Creek, Nevada: natural vs. anthropogenic influences
TL;DR: A series of water samples from Steamboat Creek, Nevada, was analyzed for total mercury concentrations as discussed by the authors, which showed that concentrations from these waters were 40 to 60 times higher than pristine mountain streams entering the creek.
