The article presents the use of a nonlinear multi-proxy model called Weight Determination by Manifold Regularization (WDMR) to restore water temperature from high resolution trace element profiles in biogenic carbonates. It argues that several proxy environmental relationships are nonlinear and depicts that combining different proxies result in better temperature restorations. It clarifies that the model is not based on a mechanistic understanding of the incorporation mechanisms of the proxies.
