Short summary
High-resolution analyses of paleoecological and geochemical proxies give insight into environmental processes and climate variations in the past on a timescale that is relevant for humans. This study, as the first of its kind, aims to resolve cyclic variations of nannofossil assemblages on a decadal to centennial scale in a highly sensitive Early Miocene (~17Ma) shallow marine setting. Our results indicate that solar variation played a major role in shaping short-term climate variability.
