It is not possible to understand the present or future climate unless scientists can account for the enormous and rapid cycles of glaciation that have taken place over the last million years, and which are expected to continue into the future. A great deal has happened in the theory of the ice ages over the last decade, and it is now widely accepted that ice ages are driven by changes in the Earth's orbit. This work studies ice ages, covering geology, physics, glaciology, oceanography, atmospheric science, planetary orbit calculations astrophysics and statistics.
Introduction.- The "prevailing paradigm".- Details of the data and their interpretation.- Astronomical effects.- Time scale determination - a critical problem.- Tuning.- Spectral Methods: the minimum you must know.- Spectral analysis of data.- The 23 kyr cycle - does it exist?- Linking mechanisms to climate.- Critical tests of theory.- Summary: Status of our understanding.
