Frontiers | Ficus insipida tree rings as biomonitors for gaseous elemental mercury in the artisanal gold mining-impacted Peruvian Amazon

Trees in the neotropics can be used as spatial and sometimes temporal indicators of mercury concentrations over time. Check out our publication for more information: www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

The role of contaminant risk landscapes in the Anthropocene Across the planet, human mobilization of chemical pollution and widespread land-cover changes are key markers of the Anthropocene. However, because they occur at different spatial scales, contaminant...

Interested in how land cover change and contaminant introduction influence the contaminant fate and transport? Check out my conceptual paper on contaminant risk in the Anthropocene.
