In palaeoceanography the term biomarker is used to name organic molecules found in sediments, initially produced by a variety of organisms either on land or in the aquatic environment. A key characteristic of biomarkers is that after their biosynthes... Read More about Biomarkers as palaeoceanographic proxies.

Benefits of freeze-drying sediments for the analysis of total chlorins and alkenone concentrations in marine sediments (2007)
Journal Article
McClymont, E., Martinez-Garcia, A., & Rosell-Melé, A. (2007). Benefits of freeze-drying sediments for the analysis of total chlorins and alkenone concentrations in marine sediments. Organic Geochemistry, 38(6), 1002-1007. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orggeochem.2007.01.006

Long chain alkenones and photosynthetic pigment derivatives (chlorins) are commonly employed biomarkers in the reconstruction of past sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and organic carbon export from the surface to the deep ocean. For these studies, mar... Read More about Benefits of freeze-drying sediments for the analysis of total chlorins and alkenone concentrations in marine sediments.
