What this study does

The study analyses two short sediment cores with high-resolution geochemical and chronological information to reconstruct recent hydroclimate and temperature variability.

Main finding

Wetter intervals broadly correspond to negative NAO phases and/or reduced solar activity, whereas drier intervals often align with positive NAO conditions and higher solar activity, with some notable exceptions.

When this paper may be useful

• Recent-centuries palaeoclimate in Anatolia
• Lake-sediment calibration against atmospheric circulation
• NAO–hydroclimate comparisons
• High-resolution environmental time series
