The Probable Solution of the Climate Problem in Geology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In the following pages I have endeavoured to give an interpretation, not only of the appearance of ice ages, but also of the greater changes of climate registered in the geological record. In view of the importance ascribed in this discussion to relief, I have named the theory the relief hypothesis.
