中文摘要:

      由微生物产生的甘油醚类化合物是有机地球化学领域的研究热点之一。这些大分子化合物能够敏感的响应环境参数的变化,因而在古气候重建中具有重要意义。我国青藏高原地区甘油醚类化合物的研究起步较晚但发展很快。本文综述了该地区甘油醚类化合物气候代用指标的现代过程和古环境研究方面的一些进展,以期为青藏高原地区古环境研究工作提供一些启示。

英文摘要:

      Glycerol ether lipids produced by microbes are increasingly popular in the field of organic geochemistry. These high molecular weight compounds are sensitive to environmental variables, and therefore they are important for paleoclimatic studies. On the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, studies of glycerol ether lipids developed late but progressed rapidly. Here we reviewed advances in paleoclimate proxies based on microbial glycerol ether lipids on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Our aim was to provide some useful references for paleoclimatic studies in this region.
