In 2020, he joined the Comet Research Group and collaborated with them on research that reported high concentrations of iridium, platinum, nickel, and cobalt at the Younger Dryas boundary in material from Abu Hureyra. They concluded that the evidence supports the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, which has been comprehensively refuted by experts in archaeology, astronomy, and impact science.
