Recent Papers on Holocene Impacts and Tsunamis

Dear Friends,

I found some recent papers that argue for Holocene impact
events and tsunamis. They are:

Cagen, K. and D. Abbott. 2009. Evidence for a tsunami
generated by an impact event in the New York metropolitan
area approximately 2300 years ago. Section I: 23 pp. In S. H.
Fernald, D. Yozzo and H. Andreyko, eds., Final Reports of
the Tibor T. Polgar Fellowship Program, 2008. Hudson
River Foundation.

I have not had the time to read through any of these papers.
Therefore, I Lack any opinion as to validity of their arguments.
Therefore, if a person has any disagreements with what they
argue, contact the authors, not me.

Yours,
