Coupling and Decoupling Between Sedimentary Mercury and Organic Carbon Preservation in the Oxygenated Marine Environment

Yang Qu,
Huan Zhong,
Xiting Liu
et al.

Abstract: Mercury (Hg) enrichment relative to total organic carbon (TOC) in sedimentary records has been widely used as a volcanism proxy. However, the depositional and diagenetic effects on Hg burial are not well understood, limiting the reliability of the proxy. Here, we report a systematic investigation of Hg sedimentation under well‐oxygenated bottom water. Most of the studied cores show total mercury content (THg) to TOC ratio between 50 and 300 ppb/%, including northwest Pacific ODP Site 1208, East Equatorial Paci… Show more
