| Abstract | Reconstructing how land temperatures changed over geological time is critical for understanding Earth’s geologic past. So far, oceans have been the main source of ancient geological data, leaving the land’s history largely untold. This project will investigate a recently discovered, unique group of bacterial membrane lipids that are well preserved in the rock record and could function as molecular fossils that provide valuable information on past ecosystems. This work aims to improve understandi |
