Mercury Inflow to the Amur Bay (the Sea of Japan) after the Passage of Typhoons in 2015

K. I. Aksentov

Mercury levels in the abiotic components of the Razdol’naya River–Amur Bay geosystem are determined. The obtained mercury concentrations correspond to modern global values. Mercury accumulated in the deposit environments is transported to the bay during floods and creates a local geochemical background. The migration of mercury is carried out in the form of suspended matter and single fragments of soil cover which can be deposited in the open parts of the Peter the Great Gulf shelf according to the existing circulation of surface waters.
