Abstract. Marine glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are used in various proxies (such as TEX86) to reconstruct past ocean temperatures. Over 20 years of improvements in GDGT sample processing, analytical techniques, data interpretation and our understanding of proxy functioning have led to the collective development of a set of best practices in all these areas. Further, the importance of Open Science in research has increased the emphasis on the systematic documentation of data generation, reporting and archiving processes for optimal reusability of data. In this paper, we provide protocols and best practices for obtaining, interpreting and presenting GDGT data (with a focus on marine GDGTs), from sampling to data archiving. The purpose of this paper is to optimize inter-laboratory comparability of GDGT data, and to ensure published data follows modern open access principles.

This #ValentinesDay we wanted to show our appreciation for all our wonderful volunteers, journal paper reviewers, editors and executive editors, who help keep the #EGUjournals and #EGUsphere #OpenAccess!
Even our authors are thankful, as was made clear in the results of this years' EGU Author Survey, now available online.
Why not tell an editor or reviewer how much you appreciate them, today!

The results are in from EGU's author survey from last year and once again our authors have told us that they value our open access publishing and open peer review processes! Read on to find out why many authors think EGU's journals are the perfect match!
@jgomezdans @trappmartin Thanks, I'll check it out.
We have a preprint out at @EuroGeosciences #EGUSphere where we look at uncertainty estimates for the #SeaIce extent and area timeseries indicator, also here with #MonteCarlo simulations.
