    Viral Shah (NASA-GSFC) - An improved chemical mechanism for atmospheric Hg models
    Alexei Khalizov (NJIT) - Molecular characterization of Hg(II) in the laboratory is achieved. What is next?
    Alkuin Koenig (University of Grenoble, France) - Mercury observations in the Southern Hemisphere free troposphere and inside a volcanic plume
    Seth Lyman & Lynne Gratz (Utah State & Colorado College) - Methodological advances in measuring oxidized Hg and its origins at SPL
    Rainer Volkamer, Christopher Lee, Romulo Cruz-Simbron & Sandeep Sharma (CU Chemistry & CIRES) - Halogen measurements using MAX-DOAS: developing the F0AM chemical box model for iodine chemistry & calculations on the Hg-I bond strength
    Gannet Hallar (University of Utah) - New Particle formation at SPL
