This workshop will bring together researchers that measure atmospheric mercury (Hg) in order to discuss existing benefits and limitations of current measurement and calibration methods and to suggest future needs for new measurement systems. There is recent community consensus that commercially available instruments that measure Hg have potential biases and this workshop will gather members of the Hg measurement community in order to discuss these biases and data gaps as well as work to create consensus on next steps and future needs.The workshop has three primary objectives: (1) establish the current state of the science; (2) develop a consensus about the path forward; and (3) publish a peer-reviewed paper based on the workshop’s findings. Additionally, a report to NSF and a workshop white paper will be produced. The workshop will include presentations, hands-on demonstrations of measurement and calibration methods, and discussions oriented around the three primary objectives noted above. Invites will be sent to established researchers as well as graduate students, early career researchers, and underrepresented groups. The intellectual merit of this workshop includes a targeted discussion among the Hg measurement community on known biases and data gaps, as well as a focused effort to create community consensus on next steps and future needs. As for broader impacts, this workshop will strengthen Hg measurement community cohesion, and enhance graduate, early-career, and underrepresented researcher integration within the Hg measurement community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研讨会将汇集测量大气汞（Hg）的研究人员，以讨论当前测量和校准方法的现有益处和局限性，并提出未来对新测量系统的需求。最近，汞测量界达成共识，认为商业上可获得的汞测量仪器存在潜在的偏差，本次研讨会将聚集汞测量界的成员，讨论这些偏差和数据差距，并努力就下一步措施和未来需求达成共识。以及（3）根据研讨会的研究结果发表一份经同行评审的论文。此外，还将制作一份提交给NSF的报告和一份研讨会白色文件。研讨会将包括介绍、测量和校准方法的实践演示以及围绕上述三个主要目标进行的讨论。邀请将被发送到既定的研究人员以及研究生，早期职业研究人员和代表性不足的群体。该研讨会的学术价值包括在汞测量界就已知的偏差和数据差距进行有针对性的讨论，以及集中努力就下一步措施和未来需求达成共识。至于更广泛的影响，该讲习班将加强汞测量界的凝聚力，并促进研究生、职业初期和代表性不足的研究人员融入汞测量界，该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
