Alkenone distribution in Lake Van sediment over the last 270 ka: influence of temperature and haptophyte species composition

Fossil long-chain alkenones have been used for several decades to reconstruct past ocean surface water temperatures and gained recent interest as a paleotemperature proxy for continental lake settings. However, factors besides temperature can affect alkenone distributions in haptophyte algae, and al...
