Bacterial GDGTs in Holocene sediments and catchment soils of a high Alpine lake: application of the MBT/CBT-paleothermometer [PDF]
A novel proxy for continental mean annual air temperature (MAAT) and soil pH, the MBT/CBT-paleothermometer, is based on the temperature (<i>T</i>) and pH-dependent distribution of specific bacterial membrane lipids (branched glycerol dialkyl ...

Research Progress in Analytical Methods of Biomarker GDGTs in Geological Environments [PDF]
Glycerol dialkyl glyceryl tetraethers (GDGTs) are a class of environment biomarkers that are widely found in the environment of oceans, lakes, soils, and peat.

Abundance and Distribution of GDGTs in Incubated Artificial Soils with No Fossil Pool [PDF]
Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) derived from microorganisms are important tools for the study of paleoclimate changes. Incubation experiments are helpful to clarify the mechanisms for the responses of GDGTs to environmental parameters, and ...

Isoprenoidal GDGTs and GDDs associated with anoxic lacustrine environments [PDF]
We examined membrane-spanning archaeal lipids using ultra high pressure liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) in a suite of sediment samples from both cored sequences (Messel oil shale and Lake Chala) and surface sediments (

Thermophilization: Concepts, Methods, and Implications of Changes in Community Composition due to Global Warming. [PDF]
As many species shift their geographic ranges coldward due to global warming, communities will undergo “thermophilization”—the increasing relative abundance of warm‐adapted (“thermophilic”) species and the concomitant decrease of cold‐adapted species over time.

Biomarker characterization of the North Water Polynya, Baffin Bay: implications for local sea ice and temperature proxies [PDF]
The North Water Polynya (NOW, Inuktitut: Sarvarjuaq; Kalaallisut: Pikialasorsuaq), Baffin Bay, is the largest polynya and one of the most productive regions in the Arctic.

Evaluation of the distributions of hydroxylated glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in Holocene Baltic Sea sediments for reconstruction of sea surface temperature: the effect of changing salinity [PDF]
Hydroxylated glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (OH-GDGTs) produced by both marine and freshwater thaumarchaea are increasingly used for the reconstruction of past sea surface temperature (SST). They occur throughout the modern Baltic Sea, but it
