Die Vergletscherungen Neuseelands und die Frage ihrer Gleichzeitigkeit mit den europäischen Vereisungen (Berichte über eine Reise zum Studium des Pleistozäns auf der Südhalbkugel I.)

Abstract. The Pleistocene sequence of Wanganui (North Island of New Zealand) and the succession of glaciations in the South Island are shortly reviewed. The Last Glaciation and the Postglacial time in New Zealand were, as C14 determinations definitly show, contemporaneous with those of the Northern Hemisphere. If the Last Glaciation was contemporaneous on the two Hemispheres, then the older ones must also have been contemporaneous. This does not agree with the MILANKOVITCH-curve, which in the form, as it has been given by M., cannot have been the cause of the ice ages.
