The Multiple Glaciation Debate: The Canadian Perspective
|
| Abstract |
While geologists in the United States were involved in a debate about the multiple glaciation of the North American continent, geologists in Canada were still debating the more basic concept of continental glaciation itself. The author argues that one of the several causes of this intellectual lagging on the part of Canadians was the British allegiance and dominating personality of McGill University Principal Sir William Dawson (1820-1899). It wasn't until the 1890s that Canadian glacial geology began to agree with the ideas popular in the United States.
