Alkenone concentration and sea surface temperature in surface sediments

DOI

Alkenone concentration and radiocarbon age in 7 gobally-distributed surface sediment samples and their associated grain-size fractions. Total organic carbon (TOC) and fractional abundance of grain-size fractions from bulk sediments (Bulk%) are taken from Ausín et al. (2021). Analytical precision of Uk'37 is 0.003 units. Uk'37-SST propagated error is ±0.51℃. These parameters were measured to explore the influence of alkenone-mineral associations and hydrodynamic mineral sorting processes on alkenone proxy signals. Bulk sediment samples were fractionated into four grain-size fractions (sand (>300-63 µm); coarse silt (63-10 µm); fine silt (10-2 µm); and clay (< 2 µm) prior to lipid extraction and manual column chromatography to obtain a ketone fraction containing the alkenones. The concentration and distribution of C37 alkenones was analyzed using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) at the Biogeoscience Group Laboratories, ETH Zürich in 2018. The ketone fractions used for determination of alkenone concentration and unsaturation were further purified for compound specific radiocarbon analysis following Ohkouchi et al. (2005). Samples, were measured as CO2 using an Elemental-Analyzer system interface coupled to a gas ion source (GIS)-equipped Minicarbon Dating System (MICADAS) at the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics, ETH Zürich in 2018.
