Molecular stratigraphy: a new tool for climatic assessment

Molecular stratigraphy: a new tool for climatic assessment

A molecular record of variations in sea-surface temperatures over the past 500,000 years are inferred from the behavior of two abundant organic compounds. Evidence that provides the first demonstration of a new stratigraphical technique is presented.
