There is a new and interesting paper about the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. It is:
van Hoesel, A., W. Z. Hoek, G. M. Pennock, and M. R. Drury, 2014, The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: a critical review. Quaternary Science Reviews. vol. 83, pp. 95–114. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277379113004332 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/02773791/83/supp/C This paperconcludes that convincing evidence for this hypothesis remains debatable and that some of the evidence used to support the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis either cannot fully be explained or is contradictory. This paper also concludes that there is an apparent age discrepancy of up to two centuries between different sites associated with the proposed impact event and offers alternative interpretations of it.
