Temporal Mercury Concentration and Stable Isotope Assessment of Seston, Waters, Sediment, and Particulates from Lakes Mendota and Monona, Madison, Wisconsin, 2021-2022
This dataset describes mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentration data and Hg and MeHg stable isotope values in plankton, waters, and sediments that were collected from two inland freshwater lakes in Madison, Wisconsin. Plankton and waters were collected monthly from May-October in 2021 and 2022 from Lake Mendota and Lake Monona and sediments were sampled in 2017. Samples were processed and analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey Mercury Research Laboratory in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin for mercury species concentration and stable isotope analysis.
