Abstract
► We report the widespread occurrence of hydroxy-GDGTs with 0-2 cyclopentane moieties. ► The relative hydroxy-GDGT abundance increases towards higher latitudes. ► The hydroxy-GDGT ratios in sediments correlate with sea surface temperature. ► The hydroxy-GDGTs % is weakly correlated to downcore proxy temperatures. ► Hydroxy-GDGTs could contribute to the paleoproxy tool kit.
