fræðina“ hafa birst á íslensku, eftir Leó
Kristjánsson (1978) og Sigurð Stein-
[tórsson (1975).
Að öðru leyti nær ritaskráin yfir
bækur og greinar, sem beint eða óbeint
er vísað til í textanum, en að auki fylgir
sérstök skrá yfir bækur um „nýju jarð-
fræöina,“ mönnum til glöggvunar. Við
samningu erindisins studdist ég einkum
við hina mjög svo handhægu bók Allans
Cox (1973), þar sem endurprentaðar eru
ýmsar tímamótagreinar fræðanna, og
tengdar saman með stuttum yfirlits-
greinum Cox sjálfs.
SUMMARY
The Centennial of Alfred
Wegener. II. Wegener’s Legacy
by Sigurður Steinthórsson, Department of
Geology, University of Iceland, Reykjavík.
The article describes the development of
the „New Global Geophysics“ after Wegen-
er, chiefly following the book of Allan Cox
(1973): Plate tectonics and geomagnetic re-
versals.
