Climate: Long-Range Investigation, Mapping, 

 and Prediction (CLIMAP) Study 



CL1MAP research was designed to describe and explain the 

 major changes in global climate that have occurred in the past 

 million years. These changes involve transitions between two 

 partly stable states of global climate — ice ages and temperate 

 (interglacial) periods. The fundamental objective was to improve 

 our understanding of the causes of long-term climatic change. 

 Previous CLIMAP work firmly established a concept suggested 

 by earlier workers, that variation in the Earth-Sun orbital 

 geometry is the pacemaker of long-term climatic change. Much of 

 recent CLIMAP work was directed toward studies of the 

 interaction of the various parts of the global climate system. 

 Ocean sediment cores are multichannel recorders of changes in 

 the ocean circulation, variation in the size of ice sheets, and 

 changes in terrestrial climate. Knowledge of how these parts of the 

 global system have interacted in the past provides insight into 

 some of the causal relationships that will determine the climate of 

 the future. These long-range trends are the fundamental, large- 

 amplitude rhythms that underlie the higher frequency and smaller 

 scale variations of recent centuries.
