Climate and time in their geological relations: a theory of secular changes of the earth's climate / James Croll.

Title: Climate and time in their geological relations: a theory of secular changes of the earth's climate / James Croll.
Author(s): Croll, James.
Date: 1875.
Publisher: London: Daldy, Isbister & Co
Abstract: Presents support for theory of secular changes of earth's climate, noting its gradual acceptance, especially as relating to cause of glacial epoch, owing to increasing knowledge of drift phenomena. Notes almost general conviction that glacial epoch had "cosmical" cause. Covers: ocean currents in relation to global heat distribution; physical causes of secular climate change; why southern hemisphere is colder than northern; gravitation and wind theories of oceanic circulation; evidence for and timing of glacial and interglacial epochs; measurement of geological time; age and origin of sun; submergence and emergence of land during glacial epoch; influence of orbital obliquity on climate; former ice sheets of Britain and north-west Europe; and theories of glacier motion.
