This project aims to enhance the accuracy of palaeoclimate reconstructions using branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers. It will investigate the microbial sources of these lipids and their relationship with soil temperature across various environments.
The distribution of the soil bacterial membrane lipids “branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers” (brGDGTs) in geological records has been used to reconstruct palaeoclimatic conditions, specifically the mean annual air temperature and soil pH.
However, the large error associated with the most recent brGDGT-based calibration, makes this method unsuitable for determining absolute temperatures.
The fellow aims to perform geochemical and microbiological work that will result in the improvement…
