Abstract

• Analysis of brGDGT distributions in global peat dataset. • Correlation of brGDGT distributions with peat pH and mean annual air temperature. • Development of peat-specific temperature and pH proxies. Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids from Bacteria and Archa...
