Variation of Isoprenoid GDGTs in the Stratified Marine Water Column: Implications for GDGT-Based TEX86 Paleothermometry

Variation of Isoprenoid GDGTs in the Stratified Marine Water Column: Implications for GDGT-Based TEX86 Paleothermometry

Isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs) derived from archaea are lipid biomarkers that exhibit high sensitivity to changes in water temperature, leading to the widespread application of the isoGDGT-based tetraether index of 86 carbon atoms (TEX86) in surface seawater temperature...
