Is PP reflected in underlying sediments?
• Lipid distributions reflect productivity variations (Lee and Wakeham, 1988; Hernández-Sánchez et al., 2010).

Summary
- Biomarker distributions in upper water column suggests homogeneous productivity
- Distributions strikingly different in sediments- Most degradation occurs throughout the water
column and/or sediment-water interface- Alkenones, hydroxy methyl alkanoates and diols
seem to be the most diagenetically stable.
- Subtle differences in [O2] seem to have an effect on preservation

To do …
• Biomarker distributions represent community structure in surface waters.
– Heather Bounman and Tom
• Estimate vertical fluxes.
– Gideon Henderson and Alex Thomas

Paleo proxy calibration• Is PP reflected in underlying sediments?:
- Hernandez-Sanchez et al. (Pancost, Henderson, Homoky, Bounman, Thomas +). GCA?
• GDGT distributions in the water column: Implications for the TEX86 paleothermometry proxy- Hernandez-Sanchez, M. T., Woodward, M., Taylor, K. W., Henderson, G., Pancost, R. D., GDGT distributions in SE Atlantic sediments match those in subsurface waters: Geology (to be submitted)

Other outcomes• Hernandez-Sanchez, M. T., and Pancost, R. D. Occurrence of
1-O-monoalkyl glycerol ether lipids in both marine waters and sediments (in prep.)
