Environmental Journals Recognize Contributions from MIT Early Career Scientists

EAPS Associate Professor Noelle Eckley Selin's research on mercury pollution and mitigation on mercury pollution and mitigation was highlighted in the "Early Career Scientists Virtual Issue" of journals Environmental Science & Technology and Environmental Science & Technology Letters. 

Associate Editor, Keri Hornbuckle, had this to say of the work: “Selin and colleagues use a spatially-resolved global model to evaluate the impact of delays in implementing international agreements to mitigate mercury emissions. The model integrates emissions, transport, deposition with biogeochemical cycling. Notably, the model considers re-emission of mercury that is continuously deposited to soils and oceans. To demonstrate the link between global emissions and local exposures, the authors present case studies of vulnerable regions, elegantly illustrating the importance of timely reduction of mercury emissions on human exposure.”
