People have selectively used the ideas of Dr. John Shaw to claim
that they are undisputed indicators of catastrophic subglacial
floods associated with extraterrestrial impacts. However,
in their arguments, they completely either ignore over overlook
any other research that strongly indicate that there is a lack of
any connection between catastrophic subglacial floods and
drumlin formation. Some of this recent research is:

Observations from the surge-type glacier M?laj?kull in Iceland
underpin new modeling results that suggest the glacier's drumlins
grow during quiet intervals of normal flow between glacial surges.
