Abstract
Summary
Alkenones are a type of ketones produced by a certain order of algae. Its unsaturation degree has been widely applied as a sea surface temperature proxy. Our studies focus on differentiating alkenone producing species, which can reveal information about paleo sea ice and sea surface salinity.
