We use a combination of organic and stable isotopic biogeochemical techniques to investigate the biogeochemical record of environmental change preserved in aquatic sedimentary systems – especially lake and ocean sediments. Specific organic compounds called biomarkers, or molecular fossils, can be traced to the organism that produced them. Thus, from looking at organic remains in sediments,
