Abstract Orbital-scale East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) variability has been extensively investigated in Pliocene-Quaternary loess and marine sediments. In recent years, middle-late Miocene orbital-scale EASM variability has been depicted in lacustrine deposits from NE Tibetan basins, showing a dominant cyclicity of ∼100 kyr eccentricity. However, EASM variability during the early Miocene time remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the sedimentary record of the early Miocene Xianshuihe Formation, Lanzhou Basin, in order to further constrain the NE Tibetan hydrological evolution and link it to orbital-scale monsoonal variability. By analyzing the lithology, magnetostratigraphy and cyclostratigraphic records of a 270-m section, we show that Lanzhou lake expansion cycles were consistently dominated by ∼100 kyr eccentricity forcing in early Miocene, except for the ∼20.8-19.8 Ma interval showing dominant obliquity control. These records are in agreement with deep-sea oxygen isotopic records, and are potentially linked to Antarctic ice sheet modulations related the precession amplitude modulation by eccentricity. A weakening of weathering intensity in Lanzhou Basin after 20.8 Ma may be attributed to orogenic barriers for westerly moisture and weakened surface temperature resulted from the rapid uplift of NE Tibet and surrounding mountains in the time interval of late Oligocene-early Miocene.
