Hydrogen isotopic composition of alkenones as a salinity proxy using marine surface sediments

Sea surface salinity is an essential environmental parameter necessary to understand past changes in global climate. However, reconstructing absolute salinity of the surface ocean with high enough accuracy and precision remains a complicated task. Hydrogen isotope ratios of long-chain alkenones (δ2HC37) have been shown to reflect salinity in culture studies and have been proposed as a tool to reconstruct sea surface salinity in the geological record. The correlation between δ2HC37 - salinity in culture is prominently caused by the relationship between δ2HH2O and salinity, as well as the increa... Mehr ...
