BRI has been actively working with an expansive network of mercury scientists around the world to develop plans for an effective national mercury monitoring network. To that end, the Institute has developed several networks that link research programs and provide an arena for shared methods. BRI is also a storage house for mercury data in North America. The organization currently coordinates four research networks:
- GLMMR – Global Loon Mercury Monitoring Research Network
- TERRA – Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Assessment Network
- MercNet – tracking mercury in air, land, and water
- Global Mercury Data System – determining mercury hotspots
