The isotope composition of authigenic and biogenic carbonates and diatom silica are
commonly used as palaeoclimate proxies from lake sediments. This article reviews the …

Molecular organic geochemical proxies are increasingly being utilized to reconstruct past
environmental conditions as new tools continue to be discovered and developed. To date …

Lipid analysis of aquatic plants from lakes on Mt. Kenya, E. Africa, revealed that non-
emergent (submerged and floating-leaved) species displayed enhanced abundances of mid …

The organic matter content of lake sediments contains information that helps to reconstruct
past environmental conditions, evaluate histories of climate change, and assess impacts of …

Using a set of surface sediment samples and corresponding macrophytes from the Tibetan
Plateau, we show that aquatic macrophytes strongly influence the carbon isotope values of …

Grasses (Poaceae) are distributed across the world in broad latitudinal belts and are an
important source of C4 biomass in the geological record of soils as well as lake and marine …

Lipid biomarkers extracted from a peat core obtained from the northeast edge of the Tibetan
Plateau have provided a 13 kyr record of regional climate change. A period of warmer …

Molecular stratigraphic analyses, including lipid distributions and compound-specific δ13C
measurements, have been performed at 15 levels in a sediment core from Sacred Lake, Mt …

The isotopic compositions of total organic carbon (TOC) in lakes have been widely used to
interpret paleoclimatic changes and the depositional environments of lake sediments …

The debate of climate versus CO2 in controlling the long-term dynamics of tropical African
vegetation has focused on events at the upper tree-line, since the relevant paleodata tend to …
