Source-specific biomarkers as proxies for Arctic and Antarctic sea ice

ST Belt - Organic geochemistry, 2018 - Elsevier
Over the last decade or so, certain source-specific C 25 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI)
lipid biomarkers have emerged as useful proxies for Arctic and Antarctic sea ice. Thus, IP 25 …
