Status of alkenone paleothermometer calibration

The alkenone unsaturation index, U37K', has now proven its worth as a tool for paleothermometry. U37K' measured in most modern sediments throughout the World Ocean can be translated using established calibrations into realistic, seemingly reliable estimates of mean annual temperature at th...
