Application of microbial membrane tetraether lipids in speleothems
Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs), which are derived from microbial membranes, occur widely in soils, peats, lake sediments, marine sediments, hot springs, and other environments. GDGTs respond sensitively to environmental changes and have become an important tool in paleoenvironmental r...
