Interglacials of the Quaternary defined by northern hemispheric land ice distribution outside of Greenland
This study presents a new definition of interglacials during the Quaternary. The authors find the appearance of interglacials is in general following the 41-kyr cycle of obliquity with various exceptions, suggesting a more complex physical mechanism triggering glacial terminations.
