摘要
Edward(Ted)Irving wrote his paper‘Palaeomagnetic and palaeoclimatological aspects of polar wandering’during his first year at the Australian National University(ANU).It was received on 15 February 1956 by the Italian journal Geofisica pura e applicata and published in the following March–April issue(Volume 33).The paper gave new results with strong and novel arguments in favor of continental drift at a time when the fortunes of Wegener’s theory were perhaps at their lowest ebb.It contained significant advances and opened up new avenues of research(Frankel,2012b;Schmidt,1997).
