Spatial and temporal patterns of mercury accumulation in lacustrine sediments across the Laurentian Great Lakes region

Description
Data from 104 sediment cores from the Great Lakes and inland lakes in the region were compiled to assess historical and recent changes in mercury (Hg) deposition. The lower Great Lakes showed sharp increases in Hg loading c. 1850–1950 from point-source water dischargers"
