Cyanobacterial glycolipids as tracers of continental climate change
Global surface temperatures are increasing in a manner unprecedented in modern Earth history. The extent of future warming on regional to global scales is difficult to predict but crucial for developing climate-resilient pathways and strategies for adaptation and sustainability. The study of ancient climates allows a mechanistic exploration of the Earth system and the opportunity to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate and improve new generations of climate models. Particularly on the continents, however, the spatiotemporal reconstruction of ancient climates is often associated with large uncertainties due to the scarcity of proxy records. CYANITE takes an innovative approach to fill…
