Early to Mid‐Holocene Cool Temperature‐Induced Drought in Asian Interior
Abstract Hydroclimatic variations in mid‐latitude Asia during the early to mid‐Holocene and associated mechanisms remain disputed, hampering our understanding of atmospheric circulation controls on regional climatic changes. We report Holocene alkenone records from two Siberian lakes, documenting lake temperature and hydrological changes, and ...

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (bGDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids that likely stabilize membranes of some bacteria. Although bGDGTs have been reported previously in certain geothermal environments, it has been suggested that they may ...

Evaluating the Reliability of Grain‐Size Sorting for Organic Biomarker Analysis
Abstract Organic and inorganic geochemical proxies are fundamental for interpreting past climate variability. For inorganic analysis, marine sediments are often size fractionated to isolate foraminifera, while organic analysis employs subsamples of bulk sediment.

Abstract During the latest Miocene, the Mediterranean Basin was affected by extreme paleoceanographic and paleoenvironmental changes culminating with evaporite (gypsum and halite) formation during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97–5.33 Ma).

Quantitative reconstructions of past continental climates are vital for understanding contemporary and past climate change. Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are unique bacterial lipids that have been proposed as universal ...

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (bGDGTs) are predominantly found in soils and peat bogs. In this study, we analyzed core-bGDGTs and polar (P-) bGDGTs after hydrolysis of polar fractions using liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure ...

Abstract Reliable paleotemperature proxies are essential for reconstructing past climate. To refine interpretation of the MBT'5ME index, based on bacterial brGDGT lipids, a year‐long study was conducted in Rotsee, Switzerland, a seasonally stratified lake with a 4–21°C temperature range.

Branched GDGTs of sediment and soil samples from Svalbard
Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane lipids of unknown bacteria that are ubiquitous in soil and peat. Two indices based on the distribution of these lipids in soils, the Cyclization of Branched Tetraethers (CBT) and the ...

Stepwise Cooling Events in the Western Arctic at 8.2 and 4.2 ka: Proxy Development and Application
Abstract Hydroxylated glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT)‐based proxies have recently been proposed for reconstructing sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in polar oceans, but their reliability has not yet been sufficiently validated. We investigated the spatial distribution of hydroxylated GDGTs in surface sediments from the western Arctic Ocean ...
