Abstract
Earth's climate oscillated between glacial and interglacial conditions with a period of 40 kyr between about 2.8 Ma and 0.9 Ma, and a period of 100 kyr since. Many important climate properties are recorded in ice cores dating to about 130 ka in Greenland and 800 ka in Antarctica. Major results will be summarized, along with efforts to extend the Greenland and Antarctic ice core records to earlier times.
