Testing the D / H ratio of alkenones and palmitic acid as salinity proxies in the Amazon Plume
The stable hydrogen isotope composition of lipid biomarkers, such as alkenones, is a promising new tool for the improvement of palaeosalinity reconstructions. Laboratory studies confirmed the correlation between lipid biomarker δD composition (δD<sub>Lipid</sub>), water δD composition (δ...
