  abstract = {{T}he {A}tacama {D}esert lakes located at high altitudes with very low anthropogenic impacts preserve great potential to recover regional climate changes and environmental processes at a decadal to centennial time scales. {H}erein, we present a high-resolution analysis of the stratigraphy and metal composition of {I}nka {C}oya {L}ake sediment core, in order to clarify the main forcings acting on sedimentation rates and both eolian and precipitation patterns at {A}tacama {D}esert environment. {T}he results suggest that terrigenous inputs can be mainly related to the {PDO} ({P}acific {D}ecadal {O}scillation), while laminations preserve a direct association with {E}l {N}ino-{S}outhern {O}scillation - {ENSO} (4.2-5.3 yr cyclicity). {A}dditionally, the {C}u mining activities in {C}hile are recorded in the lake. {T}he sedimentation rates and precipitation patterns were associated with {ENSO}, highlighting the relation between {L}a {N}ina and wetter periods at {A}tacama. {F}inally, high-resolution analyses of the geochemical composition provided additional criteria to identify the erosion processes at the basin, suggesting different sources of sediments, which fluxes into the lake covariated with {PDO} at a decadal scale, especially during the 20th century.},
