The main goal of the ICE-QUEST project is to improve understanding of
the role which ice sheets played in the past climate changes and will
play in mid- and long-term future under the influence of natural and
anthropogenic forcings. One of the focal points of ICE-QUEST research
is the interrelation between internal dynamics of the ice sheets and
orbital and greenhouse forcings and possibility of rapid climate
changes. This problem is important both for the explanation of the past
glacial-interglacial variations, and future contribution of the ice
sheet and glaciers to sea level rise.
