This project investigates the use of alkenones, produced by a newly discovered algal species, to reconstruct past lake temperatures. By analyzing 90 Canadian lakes, it aims to develop a temperature calibration that can help assess historical climate changes and future drought risks.
Alkenones are algal lipids that have been used for decades to reconstruct quantitative past sea surface temperature.
Although alkenones are being discovered in an increasing number of lake sites worldwide, only two terrestrial temperature records have been reconstructed so far.
The development of this research field is limited by the lack of interdisciplinary research that combines modern biological and ecological algal research with the organic geochemical techniques needed to develop a quantit…
