As you have already determined, there are some other lines of research being done elsewhere, as in the case of Dr. Lars Franzen's work (cited in my book as a strong indicator of a cosmic influence that extends back to the Younger Dryas). I think also, that indicators in Greenland (Mayewski included), but perhaps not so convincing as large spikes in both nitrates and ammonium in the high resolution cores, both indicate some very unusual happenings in North America. These as well as other tantalizing clues are I think important to note. The work in the Pacific (Sharma's ) I think is extremely important as well. The search for ancient tsunami deposits around the Pacific may be one area where signs of ocean impact might well be found. Dr. Ted Bryant has done some of this work, at least pertaining to what he believes are impact signatures from past times. Some of these, could I think also date back (assuming dating is possible to the Younger Dryas too. All lines of evidence I believe must be collected not just from North America but from elsewhere in the world as well. This I think is required to make as strong a case for the Younger Dryas as is possible.
