High-resolution analysis of upper Miocene lake deposits: Evidence for the influence of Gleissberg-band solar forcing

► A ~ 2000-year-long interval of an upper Miocene lake record is analyzed. ► Upper and lower Gleissberg cycles are detected in Miocene lake deposits. ► The 1000-year-solar cycle modulates these cycles in lake surface proxies. ► The Earth-system-immanent 1500-year-cycle is reflected in hinterland proxies. ► These cycles seem to have had influence on the regional wind system.
