LIPOTHERM: A Calibration Framework for GDGT Paleothermometry Based on Machine Learning
Abstract SST reconstruction from glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT) preserved in marine sediments is an important tool in quantitative paleoclimatology. These reconstructions require calibration frameworks that provide mapping between sediment GDGT data and temperature values.

Effect of Headgroups on Small‐Ion Permeability across Archaea‐Inspired Tetraether Lipid Membranes [PDF]
This paper examines the effects of four different polar headgroups on small-ion membrane permeability from liposomes comprised of Archaea-inspired glycerolmonoalkyl glycerol tetraether (GMGT) lipids.

Planktonic Lipidome Responses to Aeolian Dust Input in Low-Biomass Oligotrophic Marine Mesocosms
The effect and fate of dry atmospheric deposition on nutrient-starved plankton in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS; Crete, 2012) was tested by spiking oligotrophic surface seawater mesocosms (3 m3) with Saharan dust (SD; 1.6 g L−1; 23 nmol NOx mg−1; 2 ...

AllIGATR: A Multi‐Dimensional Approach for Marine Archaeal Lipid‐Based Paleothermometry
Abstract Archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether membrane lipids (GDGTs) are ubiquitous in marine sediments. The number of ring structures in six specific GDGTs varies with seawater temperature, leading to their use in paleothermometry. GDGT temperature dependence is typically quantified in TEX86.

Air/water interface study of cyclopentane-containing archaeal bipolar lipid analogues.
International audienceThe synthesis of novel archaeal lipid analogues is described. The hydrophobic core of these tetraether bipolar lipids were based on a disubstituted 1,3-cyclopentane unit which was further equipped with mannosyl polar head groups ...

Abstract Reconstructing past interactions between the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and changing environmental conditions in the Ross Sea region can help determine long‐term WAIS stability. Existing sedimentary records reveal changes to oceanography, sea ice and ice sheet extent over the glacial‐interglacial cycles of the last ∼800 kyr.

Freeze-fracture planes of methanogen membranes correlate with the content of tetraether lipids
Methanospirillum hungatei GP1 contained 50% of its ether core lipids (polar lipids less head groups) as tetraether lipids, and its plasma membrane failed to fracture along its hydrophobic domain during freeze-etching.

Assessment of soil n-alkane δD and branched tetraether membrane lipid distributions as tools for paleoelevation reconstruction [PDF]
δ18O values of pedogenic minerals forming from soil water are commonly used to reconstruct paleoelevation. To circumvent some of the disadvantages of this method, soil n-alkane δD values were recently proposed as a new tool to reconstruct ...

Abstract The response of terrestrial climate to future warming remains debated. The Pliocene, with CO2 levels similar to today, is an important analog for the future. The East Asian monsoon marginal region is one of the most climate sensitive regions on Earth. Based on contemporaneous aeolian sediments and aquatic‐influenced alluvial sediments from the
