Isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (isoGDGT) lipids in soils, SPM, and riverbed sediments in the Godavari Basin (India)@en

The concentration and fractional abundance of isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs) were investigated in the soils, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and riverbed sediments of the Godavari River basin, the largest non-Himalayan river in India and fed by the Southwest monsoon. Surface soils (0-10 cm) were collected near the Godavari River, and SPM and riverbed sediments were collected in a dry (February/March) and wet season (July/August) in 2015.
