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 …

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 …

Long chain alkenones (LCA) are temperature-sensitive lipids with great potential for
quantitative reconstruction of past continental climate. We conducted the first survey for …

Rationale Measurements of alkenone unsaturation ratios are widely used for
paleotemperature reconstructions in ocean and lake environments. Previously, we reported …

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 …

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) are a key class of biomarkers for certain members of the algal
class Prymnesiophyceae (ie, prymnesiophytes). They are ubiquitous in ocean sediments …

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 …

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 …

Alkenone-producing species have been recently found in diverse lacustrine environments,
albeit with taxonomic information derived indirectly from environmental genomic techniques …
