| Project Summary | |
| This project is a supplementary one
to the 1998-99 rsearch, and has the purpose of ageing the pre-industrial beluga teeth and
thus allowing us to factor age out of the historical vs modern comparison. At the end of
this project, we will know whether the 10-fold temporal Hg increase is due to age
differences, to substantially increase recent Hg inputs, or to a combination of both.
