Excerpt from Climate and Time in Their Geological Relations: A Theory of Secular Changes of the Earth's Climate IN the following pages I have endeavoured to give a full and concise statement of the facts and arguments adduced in sup port of the. Theory of Secular Changes of the Earth's Climate. Considerable portions of the volume have already appeared in substance as separate papers in the Philosophical Magazine and other journals during the past ten or twelve years. The theory, especially in as far as it relates to the cause of the glacial epoch, appears to be gradually gaining acceptance with geologists. This, doubtless, is owing to the greatly increased and 'con increasing knowledge of the drift-phenomena, which has induced the almost general conviction that a climate such as that of the glacial epoch could only have resulted from cosmical causes. Considerable attention has been devoted to objections, and to the removal of slight misapprehensions, which have naturally arisen in regard to a subject comparatively new and, in many respects, complex, and beset with formidable difficulties. I have studiously avoided introducing anything of a hypo thetical character. All the conclusions are based either on known facts or admitted physical principles. In short, the aim of the work, as will be shown in the introductory chapter, is to prove that secular changes of climate follow, as a necessary effect, from admitted physical agencies, and that these changes.

Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... in a seam of coal. Similar facts have also been recorded both in the United States, and in Nova Scotia. Professor Dawson describes what he calls a gigantic esker of Carboniferous age, on the outside of which large Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., vol. xii., p. 58. t " Great Ice Age," p. 513. travelled boulders were deposited, probably by drift-ice; while in the swamps within, the coal flora flourished. India.--Mr. W. T. Blanford, of the Geological Survey of India, states that in beds considered to be of Carboniferous age are found large boulders, some of them as much as 15 feet in diameter. The bed in which these occur is a fine silt, and he refers the deposition of the boulders to ice-action. Within the last three years his views have received singular confirmation in another part of India, where beds of limestone were found striated below certain overlying strata. The probability that these appearances are due, as Mr. Blanford says, to the action of ice, is strengthened by the consideration that about five degrees farther to the north of the district in question rises the cold and high table-land of Thibet, which during a glacial epoch would undoubtedly be covered with ice that might well descend over the plains of India.t Arctic Regions.--A glacial epoch during the Carboniferous age may be indirectly inferred from the probable existence of warm inter-glacial periods, as indicated by the limestones with fossil remains found in arctic regions. That an equable condition of climate extended to near the north pole is proved by the fact that in the arctic regions vast masses of carboniferous limestone, having all the characters of the mountain limestone of England, have been found. " These limestones," says Mr. Isbister, " are most extensively...

The Fundamental Problem of Geology.--The investigation of the successive changes and modifications which the earth's crust has undergone during past ages is the province of geology. It will be at once admitted that an acquaintance with the agencies by means of which those successive changes and modifications were effected, is of paramount importance to the geologist. What, then, are those agencies? Although volcanic and other subterranean eruptions, earthquakes, upheavals, and subsidences of the land have taken place in all ages, yet no truth is now better established than that it is not by these convulsions and cataclysms of nature that those great changes were effected. It was rather by the ordinary agencies that we see every day at work around us, such as rain, rivers, heat and cold, frost and snow. The valleys were not produced by violent dislocations, nor the hills by sudden upheavals, but were actually carved out of the solid rock, silently and gently, by the agencies to which we have referred. "The tools," to quote the words of Professor Geikie, "by which this great work has been done are of the simplest and most every-day order--the air, rain, frosts, springs, brooks, rivers, glaciers, icebergs, and the sea. These tools have been at work from the earliest times of which any geological record has been preserved. Indeed, it is out of the accumulated chips and dust which they have made, afterwards hardened into solid rock and upheaved, that the very framework of our continents has been formed."

The Geologic Time Scale 2012, winner of a 2012 PROSE Award Honorable Mention for Best Multi-volume Reference in Science from the Association of American Publishers, is the framework for deciphering the history of our planet Earth. The authors have been at the forefront of chronostratigraphic research and initiatives to create an international geologic time scale for many years, and the charts in this book present the most up-to-date, international standard, as ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the International Union of Geological Sciences. This 2012 geologic time scale is an enhanced, improved and expanded version of the GTS2004, including chapters on planetary scales, the Cryogenian-Ediacaran periods/systems, a prehistory scale of human development, a survey of sequence stratigraphy, and an extensive compilation of stable-isotope chemostratigraphy. This book is an essential reference for all geoscientists, including researchers, students, and petroleum and mining professionals. The presentation is non-technical and illustrated with numerous colour charts, maps and photographs. The book also includes a detachable wall chart of the complete time scale for use as a handy reference in the office, laboratory or field. The most detailed international geologic time scale available that contextualizes information in one single reference for quick desktop access Gives insights in the construction, strengths, and limitations of the geological time scale that greatly enhances its function and its utility Aids understanding by combining with the mathematical and statistical methods to scaled composites of global succession of events Meets the needs of a range of users at various points in the workflow (researchers extracting linear time from rock records, students recognizing the geologic stage by their content)

Geologic Time Scale 2020 (2 volume set) contains contributions from 80+ leading scientists who present syntheses in an easy-to-understand format that includes numerous color charts, maps and photographs. In addition to detailed overviews of chronostratigraphy, evolution, geochemistry, sequence stratigraphy and planetary geology, the GTS2020 volumes have separate chapters on each geologic period with compilations of the history of divisions, the current GSSPs (global boundary stratotypes), detailed bio-geochem-sequence correlation charts, and derivation of the age models. The authors are on the forefront of chronostratigraphic research and initiatives surrounding the creation of an international geologic time scale. The included charts display the most up-to-date, international standard as ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the International Union of Geological Sciences. As the framework for deciphering the history of our planet Earth, this book is essential for practicing Earth Scientists and academics. • Completely updated geologic time scale • Provides the most detailed integrated geologic time scale available that compiles and synthesize information in one reference • Gives insights on the construction, strengths and limitations of the geological time scale that greatly enhances its function and its utility
