Terrestrial plant biomarkers and their carbon isotopes provide insights into carbon cycling,
paleovegetation and paleoclimate, ranging in scale from local to global. Over the past …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids are membrane lipids which were long
thought to be synthesized mainly by archaea, organisms thought to be limited to extreme …

The purpose of this review is to highlight progress in unraveling carbon cycling dynamics
across the continuum of landscapes, inland waters, coastal oceans, and the atmosphere …

Molecular organic geochemical proxies are increasingly being utilized to reconstruct past
environmental conditions as new tools continue to be discovered and developed. To date …

In recent decades, the land-ocean aquatic continuum, commonly defined as the interface, or
transition zone, between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean, has undergone …

We summarize the applications of molecular proxies in paleoclimatology. Marine molecular
records especially are proving to be of value but certain environmentally persistent …

An ammonia-oxidizing, carbon-fixing archaeon, Candidatus “Nitrosopumilus maritimus,”
recently was isolated from a salt-water aquarium, definitively confirming that …

Continental margin systems collectively receive and store vast amounts of organic carbon
(OC) derived from primary productivity both on land and in the ocean, thereby playing a …

In this paper, we review the TEX 86 palaeothermometer for sea surface temperature (SST)
and evaluate its application to the Palaeogene, with a focus on the principal ecological …

The TEX 86 H paleothermometer based on isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers
(isoGDGTs) has widely been applied in various marine settings to reconstruct past sea …
