I see a Lords of Atlantis (wallace west)?
To: SunkenCiv
He and his colleagues created a computer model to estimate the duration of the flood, and found that, when the "incision channel" reached a critical depth, the water flow sped up. So wait, they are saying when the channel gets deeper, more water can move through it? Oh, tell me more.
To: bigheadfred
Yes!

Thanks for finding this. I was afraid it was going to be another “maybe-might have-could have-we think-possibly” type article, rather than something based upon actual field data.

There was a SF / fantasy series that was set in the Mediterranean basin during the dry years - The Gandalara Cycle by Randall Garrett and Vicki Ann Heydron IIRC. I remember reading and liking the series when I was younger (though it’s not great fiction by any measure). The last book ends with the flood waters pouring through Gibraltar and the Gandalarans scrambling to get out of the hole.

So what about all those water dwelling dinosaurs whose remains we find all over the place?
