Comprehensive analysis of impact spherules supports theory of cosmic impact 12,800 years ago
Santa Barbara CA (SPX) May 27, 2013

According to James Kennett, UC Santa Barbara emeritus professor in earth sciences, this climate switch fundamentally - and remarkably - occurred in only one year, heralding the onset of the Younger Dryas cool episode. The cause of this cooling has been much debated, especially because it closely coincide ... read more
