Revised fractional abundances and warm-season temperatures substantially improve brGDGT calibrations in lake sediments

<p>Distributions of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are frequently employed for reconstructing terrestrial paleotemperatures from lake sediment archives. Although brGDGTs are globally ubiquitous, the microbial producers of these membrane lipids remain unknown, precludi...
