Lipid biomarkers and their pertinent indices have been used as the most effective proxies for
paleoclimate and paleoenvironment conditions. This paper conducts a systematic review on …

Lipids can survive long geological intervals within sediments and provide a unique tool that
allows the reconstruction of past organismic diversity and environmental conditions. The …

We determined hydrogen isotope ratios of modern lake-waters and individual lipids from
surface sediments of 36 lakes in the eastern North America. The lakes selected lie on two …

Variations in the abundance of specific lipid biomarker compounds derived from terrestrial
sources are shown to be closely related to past climatic changes. Despite biodegradation …

Past climatic change can be reconstructed from sedimentary archives by a number of
proxies. However, few methods exist to directly estimate hydrological changes and even …

Organic matter constitutes a minor fraction of marine and freshwater sediments, yet its
important contribution to the sedimentary record can be used to reconstruct marine and …

Estuarine sediments provide a valuable record of changing environmental conditions over
time, although deciphering this record can be confounded by dramatic changes in sediment …

The basin-scale spatial variability in lipid biomarker proxies in lacustrine sediments, which
are established tools for studying continental environmental change, has rarely been …

Lipid biomarkers archived in marine sediments include widely applied proxies to reconstruct
sea surface temperature (SST). Two prominent groups of SST sensitive biomarkers are long …

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 …
