require further calibration, such as TEX 86 (Ho et al. 2014). Therefore, there is a
large demand for research in the field of organic geochemistry and genetics.
The future of palaeoceanography depends on the development of new analytical
techniques and the improvement of existing proxies. Classical methods will be
replaced with new, highly efficient molecular and geochemical analyses that are
independent of diagenetic processes and that provide continuous high-resolution
records.
