Short summary

We describe a new coupling between the Glacial Systems Model and the LOVECLIM intermediate complexity climate model. The coupling is distinguished from that of previous studies by greater completeness and accuracy, with the intent of capturing the major feedbacks between ice sheets and climate on glacial cycle timescales. The fully coupled model will be used to examine the ice/climate phase space of past glacial cycles.
