Reconstruction of continental mean air temperature across the PETM of IODP Hole 302-M0004A (Appendix A)
The Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ~55.5 Ma) is a geologically relatively brief episode of extreme warmth. Both deep and surface ocean temperatures increased by up to 5 °C in equatorial waters and up to 8 °C in mid and high latitude waters. From the continents, the annual mean air temperat...

The Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ~55.5 Ma) is a geologically relatively brief episode of extreme warmth. Both deep and surface ocean temperatures increased by up to 5 °C in equatorial waters and up to 8 °C in mid and high latitude waters. From the continents, the annual mean air temperature response during the PETM is still largely unknown, mainly due to a lack of quantitative temperature proxies and sufficient suitable, continuous high resolution records. Recently, a new proxy for continental temperature reconstructions has been proposed, based on the distribution of membrane lipids of bacteria in present-day soils [Weijers et al., 2007, doi:10.1016/j.gca.2006.10.003] and shown to reconstruct annual mean air temperature.
