摘要
The effect of past climatic changes on the temperature distribution near the surface of the earth is investigated. It is concluded that a minimum disturbance to the thermal gradient ranging from 2.7°C/km to more than 5.4°C/km is likely to occur at depths less than 1 km from the surface. Careful corrections to terrestrial heat flow measurements in previously glaciated areas are necessary to evaluate the equality of the continental and oceanic heat flow averages. © 1969.
