Biomolecular preservation of Tertiary Metasequoia Fossil Lagerstätten revealed by comparative pyrolysis analysis (2005)

Yang, Hong, Huang, Yongsong, Leng, Qin, LePage, Ben A., Williams, Christopher J.

We compared structural biopolymers from morphologically well preserved Metasequoia tissues from three Tertiary deposits and detected a continuum of biochemical preservation seen in this...

Paleohydrology of tropical South America since the Last Glacial Maximum. Insights from the δD of algal and terrestrial molecular markers in lake sediments. (2005)

Jacob, Jérémy, Huang, Yongsong, Luiza Spadano Albuquerque, Ana, Sifeddine, Abdelfettah, Disnar, Jean-Robert

There is renewing evidence that the Tropics might strongly influence climate dynamics on millennial time-scales. Part of this "tropical forcing" is related to changes in the water cycle that impacts...

Reconstruction of pAST climates from sedimentary biomarkers. Ancient molecules for past climate reconstructions: a large field of application for spectroscopic methods. (2004)

Jacob, Jérémy, Disnar, Jean-Robert, Huang, Yongsong, Boussafir, Mohammed, Sifeddine, Abdelfettah, Luiza Spadano Albuquerque, Ana, ...

Although we have now a better picture of past climates, there are still numerous questions that remain unsolved. These uncertainties primarily arise from the possible human impact on climate...

Preservation of lipid hydrogen isotopes ratios in Miocene lacustrine sediments and plant fossils at Clarkia, northern Idaho, USA (2002)

Yang, Hong, Huang, Yongsong

We measured D/H ratios of individual lipids isolated from plant fossils and water-logged sediments from the Miocene (15 to 20 Ma) Clarkia lacustrine deposit in northern Idaho, in order to assess the...

Mapping of C4 plant input from North West Africa into North East Atlantic sediments (2000)

Huang, Yongsong, Dupont, Lydie M, Sarnthein, Michael, Hayes, JM, Eglinton, Geoffrey

Mapping the abundance of 13C in leaf-wax components in surface sediments recovered from the seafloor off northwest Africa (0–35°N) reveals a clear pattern of delta13C distribution, indicating...

Molecular asymmetry in extraterrestrial chemistry: Insights from a pristine meteorite

Pizzarello, Sandra, Huang, Yongsong, Alexandre, Marcelo R.

The nonracemic amino acids of meteorites provide the only natural example of molecular asymmetry measured so far outside the biosphere. Because extant life depends on chiral homogeneity for the...
