It addressed a well-known gap in Milankovitch theory of orbitally-forced Pleistocene glaciation cycles: it has mechanisms for glaciation through enchanced albedo when glaciers grow, but has not mechanisms for starting de-glaciation.

Yes, this is reason always quoted by the Global-Warmers, except that the effect is questionably too small It can be certainly seen in the ice core data, indeed it is used to date the ice cores, 'orbitally tuned' to use the exact phase from one of the Nature papers.

Topics include: new developments in radiometric dating and the geologic time scale; timing of the onset of plate tectonics on Earth; a possible tool for identifying orbitally-driven changes in sea level; discovery of a new type of fossilized hot spring; macrobenthic response to the K-P boundary event; new insights into tectonics on Mars; and formation of ultradeep diamonds in former oceanic crust.

It is suggested that this change in SST would have a global impact and that abrupt events such as the Younger Dryas may be the outcome of orbitally driven changes in the tropical Pacific.

Then the resulting stacked record is orbitally tuned by adjusting the positions of peaks and valleys to fall at times consistent with an orbitally driven ice model see: Milankovitch cycles
