Read that on the weekend.......
Did they do core samples to study previous flushes of mud during flood events or just do substrate surface analysis?
We had a 1 in 1000 year event in 2011......try getting some 10,000 year old samples and studying them.
Don't get the universities to do the studies......get seasoned scientists doing the analysis, not students under the supervision of a teacher where the university is looking for a pre-selected result to push an agenda.
