Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) produced by soil-dwelling bacteria
offer a promising tool for reconstructing terrestrial temperatures. However, in most previous …

Paleoelevation reconstructions of the Himalayan mountains and Tibetan Plateau have been
a focus of geoscientists, as they can improve our understanding of the temporal evolution of …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are microbial membrane-spanning lipids that
are produced in a variety of environments. To better understand the potentially confounding …

Terrestrial leaf wax n-alkane biomarkers provide considerable insights into
paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Over decades, a substantial number of field …

The evolution of temperatures during the Holocene is controversial, especially for the early
Holocene. The occurrence of the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) during the early …

The waxy coating that protects the leaves and other soft tissues of plants includes n-alkane
and n-alkanoic acid compounds that are commonly used as biomarkers to reconstruct past …

The distribution of brGDGT lipids produced by soil bacteria has been used to reconstruct
temperatures in marine and terrestrial settings as far back as the Cretaceous period …

We evaluate the efficacy of the stable isotope composition of precipitation and plant waxes
as proxies for paleoaltimetry and paleohydrology in the northern tropical Andes. We report …

The stable isotope composition of key chemical elements for life on Earth (eg, carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur) tracks changes in fluxes and turnover of these elements …

We investigate the implications of upstream processes and hydrological seasonality on the
transfer of soil organic carbon (OC) from the Andes mountains to the Amazon lowlands by …
