Comet fragment airburst melts, whips and freezes Chilean desert sands during Younger Dryas

It’s welcome to see college courses fully integrating the Younger Dryas Impact into their thinking about the Younger Dryas and climate change. Here’s a great effort from Middlebury College. Gotta love this guy’s building…
