Ea r t h Science F r on t ier s ,2006 , 13( 1) :021031 Abstract : N umerical mo deling i s one of t he mo st powerful tool s in resolving variou s i ssues a ssociat ed wit h p a leoclimat e research . In t he la st decades , a wide sp ect rum of numerical mo deling exp eriment s has p rovided im port ant in sight s into t he mechani sm s of driving climat e changes on different timescales. On t he orbit al times cale , mo deling exp eriment s have demon st rat ed t he fir stor der import ance of variation s in latit udinal and sea son al di st ribution of in solation in forcing glacialint er glacial climat e changes and reco gnized mo st of t he significant feedback p rocesses involved in glacial cycles , such a s greenhou se gases , veget ation cover ,oceanograp hic condi tion s ,and polar ice sheet s. Mo deling result s al so suggest t hat f reshwat er inp ut into t he nort hern Nort h Atlantic could be a pot ential t rigger for t he abrup t , millennialscale climat e changes during t he la st glacial p eriod , by re vealing t he high sen sitivit y of t he t hermohaline circulation in it . On t he t ectonic timescale , numerical exp eri ment s have been successful in assessing
