Undergraduate Honors Thesis: Understanding environmental controls on branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) distributions in Kongressvatnet, Svalbard, Norway
Investigated brGDGT response to Dissolved Oxygen, Specific Conductivity, and Temperature in a meromictic, stratified lake to assess if the proxy was recording summer temperatures. I found that it was not working properly primarily due to annual bacterial community shifts throughout the water column with a secondary control of specific conductivity.
