I agree with the positive review comments by highly qualified experts
-- and respect the technical detail, for instance, 32 pages of single
spaced references for 131 pages of text -- strong evidence for "the
cause was cosmic in origin"... like the mudslide in the tip of
Southern Peru that wiped out a fishing village at Quebrada Tacahuay
site, 0.3 km from the coast, at 12,700--12,500 BP, Chapter 12,

Abstract
The archaeological site of Quebrada Tacahuay, Peru, dates to 12,700 to
12,500 calibrated years before the present (10,770 to 10,530 carbon-14
years before the present).
It contains some of the oldest evidence of maritime-based economic
activity in the New World.
Recovered materials include a hearth, lithic cutting tools and flakes,
and abundant processed marine fauna, primarily seabirds and fish.
Sediments below and above the occupation layer were probably generated
by El Nino events, indicating that El Nino was active during the
Pleistocene as well as during the early and middle Holocene.

"Profiles at Quebrada Tacahuay also expose 19 debris-flow and flood deposits.
In this region today such deposits are associated with El Ni?o events,
which typically cause widespread torrential rainfall, flooding, and
disruption of fisheries (10), such as occurred in early 1998.
Identifying prehistoric El Ni?o events is important to evaluating the
El Ni?o mechanism.
Some previous work indicates that El Ni?o events have occurred
throughout the Holocene and probably much longer (11), but one recent
study (12) concluded that such events did not occur from about 5000 to
8000 14C years before the present (yr B.P.) [about 5700 to 8900
calibrated (cal.) yr B.P.] or earlier.

The site we describe at Quebrada Tacahuay is 0.3 to 0.4 km inland at
17.8?S (Fig. 1).
It is on an alluvial fan, about 2 km southeast of a prominent and
rocky coastal headland.
The current climate is hyperarid; mean annual rainfall is about 5 mm.
Sediments containing archaeological materials are exposed along five
near-vertical artificial cuts, as high as 7 m, made for a road and a
water pipeline (Fig. 1).
The cut faces are currently 47 to 56 m above sea level.
When the site was occupied sea level was 60 to 70 m lower than at
present (13), and the site would probably have been 0.7 to 0.9 km
farther inland then."
[ over 107 m above the past sea level, over 1.0 km away ]



Four years later, the research is expanding and accelerating...

really effective summary of one blowtorch blast feature 5 miles wide
by Dennis Cox...

Carolina Bays has one strong new date at one place far older than YD...

I just scanned, rising a hundred miles high, on Google Maps from
Saanichton, B.C. -- wonderful landscape -- do you ever look at all the
small ponds and larger lakes and bays of all sizes ? -- to the west,
looks like huge floods dumped debris far west from the shore -- was
the area glaciated at YD?

I'm not doing field studies now, being content just to enjoy the many
discoveries popping up everywhere -- in a decade or so, much of
geology will be automated -- as the immense value of geology from
airships and satellites results in a total global survey -- available
to everyone free, perhaps with advertising -- already software exists
that can prove deep mathematical theorems and verify human proofs -- I
was surprised to read about it recently -- while a software model of
human metabolism presents a searchable map of 7400 biochemical
reaction just last weekend -- quantum computers are becoming real,
which means they will process huge data sets instantaneously "all at
once", not sequentially step by step -- amateurs will carry units that
image and analyze everything around them in the field at once, sending
it all to a master geology node on the Net -- and getting fair pay for
their part in any profits -- zipping along safely in their own 50 m
long airships, able to hover and land anywhere.

Your text is very dense and condensed, hard for me to read, as a
complete geology amateur -- I suggest breaking each page up into 2-3
paragraphs, with titles, and terms like "SST" defined immediately, and
an extra space after each paragraph -- no paper costs on a digital
book -- you might think about putting it all out for free as a series
of consecutive posts on a free blog like blogspot.com , which allows
your to edit and delete any of your posts at any time, and any
comments by others -- as many color images as you please -- getting
instant feedback about how many page visits for each post from all
nations on Earth from last few hours to day to week to month to entire
blog history -- can even make money from letting unobtrusive ads be
included -- I'm constantly surprised by how many of my air burst
impact posts since 2008 have continued to be read, sometimes hundreds
of page views each... -- no harm in just asking for donations...
rmforall.blogspot.com -- so then each chapter has its own html address
-- while still selling the book with larger and more pages for $ 50,
which appeals to many readers and libraries, using a Print On Demand
publisher that gives you full ownership and control and most of the
sale price...
