Isoprenoid and branched Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers (GDGTs) have been analysed in a marine sediment core (NGHP-01-16A) in front of the Godavari River in the Bay of Bengal (16.59331°N, 82.68345°E, 1268m m water depth). The core covers the Early to Late Holocene (~10000 years). The age model and %TOC are from Ponton et al. (2012) and Usman et al. (2018), respectively. TEX86 ratios and Sea Surface Temperatures were estimated following Kim et al. (2010).
