+The new iLOVECLIM v1.1β coupled with MEDUSA sediment model is an extended version of the iLOVECLIM carbon cycle version presented and described in Bouttes et al. (2015) and described here < https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ludus/wiki/CarbonCyclePage >. As established in this publication, the long-term objective is to study past and future carbon
 cycle changes over timescales of a few thousand to hundred of thousand years, typical of glacial–interglacial changes and, obviously, sedimentary processes are relevant to such timescales.

+Main aspects of general MEDUSA Coupling are described in detail in ''' MEDUSA-- Guide to Coupling ''' by Guy Munhoven. In this section, we will describe the main aspects of the coupling of MEDUSA specifically with iLOVECLIM. Most of the Fortran code for the coupling is contained in three module files: medusa_wrapper.f90, flux_from_sediments_mod.f90 and flux_to_sediments_mod.f90. 
+
+The last two modules contain the fuctions and subroutines for averaging fluxes of particules from iLOVECLIM to MEDUSA, the lines of code for the exchange of fluxes between OCYCC (ocean carbon cycle model) and MEDUSA (sediments) and the lines that modify the corresponding state variables in iLOVECLIM (e.g., DIC, PO4, NO3, O2) due to the effect of sediments.
+
+
+We will describe more in detail fluxes, loopback fluxes and variables in sediments in the current version, as well as, the files and modules in the code.

 == Future work == 
-Improve particle fluxes, settling velocities, isotopes...

+Including specific aspects of isotopes in MEDUSA.
