Water pH and temperature in Lake Biwa from MBT'/CBT indices during the last 280 000 years
We generated a 280 000 yr record of water pH and temperature in Lake Biwa, central Japan, by analysing the methylation index (MBT<sup>′</sup>) and cyclisation ratio (CBT) of branched tetraethers in sediments from piston and borehole cores. Our aim was to understand the response...
