dc.description.abstract

An integrated elemental, biomarker and stable isotope approach was used to explore environmental and ecological changes, particularly of salinity and water-column stratification, in (i) a modern estuarine ecosystem recently impacted by human water management practices and drought; and (ii) a marine palaeoenvironment associated with the Late Devonian extinctions. A pyrolysis method was developed to investigate methyltrimethyltridecylchroman (MTTC) sources and a proxy for reconstruction of freshwater incursion into marine palaeoenvironments based on these biomarkers was introduced.
