    Abstract

    The authors regret that the printed version of the above article contained a transcription error in the m/z 1048 peak area column for the branched GDGTs (Table S2). This error affected the GDGT-inferred summer air temperature presented in Figs. 3, 4 and 5, and some of the calibrations presented Fig. S2. The GDGT-inferred temperatures have been recalculated and are presented below. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. The corrected GDGT-inferred summer air temperature (Fig. 3) is largely within the uncertainty of the temperature calibration (2.0 °C RMSE, Pearson et al., 2011). While the pattern of the temperature variations over the last 3500 years remains unchanged, the GDGT-inferred summer air temperature is between 0.4 and 3.3 degrees lower than was originally presented. The interpretations of Thomas et al. (2022) are unaffected, with reconstructed changes in temperature at Club Lake still associated with several other palaeoenvironmental proxies. Section 4.1 “Our reconstruction of MSAT varies between about 13 and 16 °C, and appears to display a long-term increase in temperature averaging ~0.1 °C per century (Fig. 3).” should be “Our reconstruction of MSAT varies between about 10 and 15 °C, and appears to display a long-term increase in temperature averaging ~0.13 °C per century (Fig. 3).” Section 4.2 “The reconstructed temperature of 16.2 ± 1 °C (which is higher than the contemporary Thredbo AWS mean summer temperature) must therefore be treated with caution.” should be “The reconstructed temperature of 15.7 ± 1 °C (which is higher than the contemporary Thredbo AWS mean summer temperature) must therefore be treated with caution.” The updated figures and Supplementary information table and figure related to this corrigendum are presented below.
