Greetings from Pueblo, Colorado.
Yes,. It would be great if more definitive discovery was available towards a conclusion of WHY the Younger Dryas..
First is was massive influx of meltwater affecting ocean currents and their associated temperatures.
I am not an anthropologist, but the relative sudden loss of some mega fauna and E. seaboard , U.S. Clovis,. sure seemed to me, to be indicative of a bit more catastrophism than ice water influx.. However I also had to bear in mind , that as an old, low order , geologist,, not to chase catastrophism rabbit holes, without very careful inspection.
Due to realative short time frame,
Impact does seem to be a lot more plausible as a driver of large changes in
habitat and enviro. structure.
Apparently,. Some are thinking multiple almost simultaneous “small impacts,. (apparently even one in Mexico).
Keep up the great work.
As you know,, real deal science is not afraid of mia culpas. .
