  1. Due to atmospheric circulation and preservation of organic matter, large amounts of mercury (Hg) are stored in permafrost regions. Due to rapid warming and thawing permafrost in the Arctic, this Hg may be released, potentially degrading water quality and impacting human health. River bank erosion in particular has the ability to quickly mobilize large amounts of Hg-rich floodplain sediments. As part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project to better understand the effects of erosion in the Yukon River Basin, floodplain sediments were collected between June and September 2022 at two locations underlain by discontinuous permafrost within the Yukon River Basin: Beaver, Alaska (AK) (65.700 N, 156.387 W) and Huslia, AK (66.362N, 147.398 W). This dataset contains mercury contents for collected floodplain sediments measured by direct thermal decomposition. Sample metadata also includes information recorded in the field (location, visual grain size description, and sample collection depth) and collected post sample processing (water content and dry density).
