The second day of the GMOS-Train and MCHgMAP Workshop was marked by insightful presentations on Measurements and MCHgMAP simulations. Participants exchanged a wealth of knowledge during the sessions and gathered fresh ideas for future collaborations. Despite the unfavorable weather, the positive atmosphere remained unshaken. The day concluded with a lively group dinner in Piran, where attendees enjoyed engaging in more relaxed and fun discussions, further enhancing the camaraderie built throughout the workshop.
The final day of the workshop focused on addressing unresolved issues and uncertainties in mercury modelling. Discussions centered on mercury dynamics in the atmosphere, ocean, and multimedia systems, with an emphasis on refining models and preparing for the next phase of simulations.

The workshop concluded with a joint session that outlined the steps for the next phase of MCHgMAP simulations, integrating new data and improving model accuracy. Participants also reflected on the workshop’s achievements and planned future collaborations.

As the meeting wrapped up, attendees left with a shared commitment to continue enhancing the scientific understanding of mercury pollution and its impacts on the environment.

The workshop provided a significant platform for scientists to collaborate, share knowledge, and contribute to the global effort to mitigate mercury pollution, in alignment with the objectives of the Minamata Convention.
