Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids are membrane lipids which were long
thought to be synthesized mainly by archaea, organisms thought to be limited to extreme …

Research into organic matter in speleothems has progressed recently to encompass new
analytical approaches and applications, which offer increased potential in areas such as …

Enhanced monsoon duration and soil acidification from acid rain are expected to impact the
distribution of microbial communities in surface and subsurface environments, although …

The bacterial membrane lipid-based continental paleothermometer, the MBT/CBT or MBT′–
CBT proxy (methylation index of branched tetraethers/cyclization of branched tetraethers) …

The nature of Holocene temperature changes is controversial because of the apparent
discrepancy between global temperature reconstructions and climate modelling results …

There is limited understanding of temperature and atmospheric circulation changes that
accompany an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) slowdown beyond the …

The distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in soils has been
shown to correlate with pH and mean annual air temperature. Because of this dependence …

Bacteria and archaea sustain subsurface cave ecosystems by dominating primary
production and fueling biogeochemical cyclings, despite the permanent darkness and …

Branched and isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (br-and isoGDGTs) are
membrane lipids produced by bacteria and archaea, respectively. These lipids form the …

Distributions of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) lipids are sensitive to
environmental parameters, which enables their use in paleoenvironmental studies. In …
