The biomarker composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of the six largest Arctic rivers
was studied between 2003 and 2007 as part of the PARTNERS Project. Samples were …

The role of savannas during the course of early human evolution has been debated for
nearly a century, in part because of difficulties in characterizing local ecosystems from fossil …

Organic carbon burial in lake sediments plays an important role in the global carbon cycle,
and is heavily affected by the terrestrial organic matter input. However, few studies have …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP), known as the “Third Pole”, is a critical zone for
atmospheric mercury (Hg) deposition. Increasing anthropogenic activities in the globe leads …

Aliphatic hydrocarbon biomarkers from the surface sediments of lakes along the lower
reaches of the Yangtze River (Eastern China) were analyzed in order to determine the origin …

Lignin CuO oxidation byproducts have been successfully used as biomarkers to describe
terrigenous organic matter (TOM) dynamics in the environment in particular to understand …
