Abstract
The molecular remainders of living organisms, found in sedimentary records, reflect past ecological, environmental and climatic conditions. Occurrence, abundance, relative distribution and even isotopic composition of these lipid biomarkers can be linked to climatic conditions. This chapter reviews organic proxies for past temperature, salinity, hydrology, sea ice conditions and biomass burning.

Box 1, second equation is wrong: %GDGT-0 = [GDGT-0] /([Crenarchaeol ] + [GDGT-0)])
