In the summer of 1827 Sedgwick and Roderick Murchison travelled to investigate the geology of the Scottish Highlands, where they found " so many indications of " local diluvial " operations " that Sedgwick began to change his mind about it being worldwide.

In 1998 S . V . Parnachov defended his candidate thesis based on the analysis of some well-known sections of the diluvial terraces at the Katun River and the Chuya River, as well as on the data by P . A . Carling and conclusions of his own.

In the preface to his study he states : " The age of these sands is commonly agreed to as paleo-diluvial ( altdiluvial ) by reference to embedded mammal remains; although certain species suggest a significant relationship with a more recent section of the Tertiary, namely the Pliocene.

Results of his research related to the finds at Krapina could be found in the monograph " O diluvijalnom ovjeku iz Krapine ", ( " Der Diluviale Mensch von Krapina " in German; " On the diluvial man of Krapina " ), which was published in Wiesbaden in 1906.

These scientists were the first to correctly define the genesis of the relief in the depression and to assume, according to the orientation of the diluvial dunes, the eastern direction of the runoff of the rivers, which is opposite to the contemporary one, at some moment in the history of the Altai.

He said that " we must charge to moving waters the undulating appearance of stratified sand and gravel, often observed in many places, and very conspicuously in the plain of New Haven, and in other regions of Connecticut and New England ", while both " bowlder stones " and sandy deserts across the world could be attributed to " diluvial agency ".

Lyell's second volume explained extinctions as a " succession of deaths " due to changed circumstances with new species then being created, but Darwin found giant fossils of extinct mammals with no geological signs of a " diluvial debacle " or environmental change, and so rejected Lyell's explanation in favour of Giovanni Battista Brocchi's idea that species had somehow aged and died out.

One of the earliest criticisms came from M Seshagiri Sastri ( 1897 ), who described the claims of ante-diluvial sangams as " a mere fiction originated by the prolific imagination of Tamil poets . " CH Monahan wrote a scathing review of Suryanarayana Sastri's " Tamilmoliyin Varalaru " ( 1903 ), shortly after its publication, accusing the author of " abandoning scientific research for mythology ".

In 1823 Buckland published his detailed account of " Relics of the Flood ", " Reliquiae Diluvianae; " or, " Observations on the Organic Remains Contained in Caves, Fissures, and Diluvial Gravel and on Other Geological Phenomena Attesting the Action of an Universal Deluge ", incorporating his research suggesting that animal fossils had been dragged into the Kirkdale Cave by hyenas then covered by a layer of red mud washed in by the Deluge.

He developed these ideas further in his 1823 book " Reliquiae Diluvianae; or, Observations on the organic remains contained in caves, fissures, and diluvial gravel, and on other geological phenomena, attesting the action of an universal deluge ", challenging the belief that the bones were brought to the cave by Noah's flood and providing detailed evidence that instead hyenas had used the cave as a den into which they brought the bones of their prey.
