Branched GDGTs as Proxies in Surface Sediments From the South-Eastern Brazilian Continental Margin
Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are membrane lipids produced by bacteria usually ascribed to soil and peat deposits. The presence of brGDGTs in marine sediments can thus be used to track terrigenous organic matter inputs to the continental margin and to infer the local conti...
