Pyrolysis GC/MS as a rapid screening tool for determination of peat-forming plant composition in cores from ombrotrophic peat. Organic Geochemistry, 42(11), 1420-1435. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orggeochem.2011.07.004

Peat cores provide decadal to centennial records of climatic and environmental change, including evidence for human/environment interaction. Existing palaeoenvironmental proxies (macrofossils, pollen, humification, testate amoebae, lipid composition)...

Archaeol as a methanogen biomarker in ombrotrophic bogs (2011)
Journal Article
Pancost, R., McClymont, E., Bingham, E., Roberts, Z., Charman, D., Hornibrook, E., …Evershed, R. (2011). Archaeol as a methanogen biomarker in ombrotrophic bogs. Organic Geochemistry, 42(10), 1279-1287. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orggeochem.2011.07.003

In order to develop new tools in the reconstruction of microbiological processes in ancient continental settings, we determined the concentration of archaeol and sn-2-hydroxyarchaeol in four Holocene ombrotrophic peatlands, spanning a range of Europe...

Alkenones and coccoliths in ice-rafted debris during the Last Glacial Maximum in the North Atlantic: implications for the use of UK37' as a sea surface temperature proxy (2011)
Journal Article
Rosell-Melé, A., Balestra, B., Kornilova, O., McClymont, E., Russell, M., Monechi, S., …Ziveri, P. (2011). Alkenones and coccoliths in ice-rafted debris during the Last Glacial Maximum in the North Atlantic: implications for the use of UK37' as a sea surface temperature proxy. Journal of Quaternary Science, 26(6), 657-664. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1488

The UK37′ index has proven to be a robust proxy to estimate past sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over a range of time scales, but like any other proxy, it has uncertainties. For instance, in reconstructions of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the no...
