Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the most sensitive areas to global climate
changes. Quantitative paleotemperature reconstructions on the TP since the Last …

The response of the terrestrial biosphere to warming remains one of the most poorly
understood and quantified aspects of the climate system. One way to test the behavior of the …

Microbial lipid biomarkers preserved in geological archives can be used to explore past
climate changes. Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are unique …

The development of methods using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to
analyze glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) has substantially expanded the …

Despite widespread use of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) for
paleo-temperature reconstruction, no global calibration for their application in lakes has …

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to severely impact the global hydrological cycle,
particularly in tropical regions where agriculture-based economies depend on monsoon …

The early Eocene (56 to 48 million years ago) is inferred to have been the most recent time
that Earth's atmospheric CO 2 concentrations exceeded 1000 ppm. Global mean …

Accurate temperature records for the deep geological past are a vital component of
paleoclimate research. Distributional changes of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol …

Orbital-scale global climatic changes during the late Quaternary are dominated by high-
latitude influenced~ 100,000-year global ice-age cycles and monsoon influenced~ 23,000 …

The distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in soils, peats,
and lake sediments has been shown to correlate with mean annual air temperature (MAAT) …
