Alkenones have been found in an increasing number of lakes around the world, making
them a promising new tool for continental paleoclimate reconstruction. However, individual …

Alkenones are C 35–C 42 polyunsaturated ketone lipids that are commonly employed to
reconstruct changes in sea surface temperature. However, their use in coastal seas and …

Fossil long-chain alkenones have been used for several decades to reconstruct past ocean
surface water temperatures and gained recent interest as a paleotemperature proxy for …

Alkenones are a class of unsaturated long-chain ketone biomarkers that have been used to
reconstruct sea surface temperature and, more recently, continental temperature, by way of …

Long chain alkenones (LCAs) are potential biomarkers for quantitative paleotemperature
reconstructions from lacustrine environments. However, progress in this area has been …

Members of the order Isochrysidales are unique among haptophyte lineages in being the
exclusive producers of alkenones, long‐chain ketones that are commonly used for …

The alkenone unsaturation index (U 37 K or U 37 K′) serves as a critical tool for
reconstructing temperature in marine environments. Lacustrine haptophyte algae are …

Long-chain alkenones (LCAs) produced by phylogenetically classified Groups 1 and 3
Isochrysidales are increasingly used for paleotemperature and/or paleosalinity …

An empirical global core-top calibration that relates the alkenone unsaturation index
[Formula: see text] to mean annual SST (maSST) is statistically the same as that defined for …

The 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences of haptophyte algae were successfully amplified
using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from water filtrate, surface sediments, and a late …
