Abstract

As a result of applying the principle of symmetry and the similarity property to the glacial cycles of the Late Pleistocene, an analogy was found in the climate dynamics of the Milankovich glacial cycles. This made it possible to outline the future glacial cycle, determine its configuration and duration.

Keywords

Late Pleistocene, Milankovich glacial cycles, future glacial cycle, principles of symmetry and similarity, wavelet analysis,
