Steel, Duncan
Duncan Steel (1955- ) is an astrophysicist who has worked in the USA, New 
Zealand and is currently director of Spaceguard Australia. Dr. Steel has been employed by both NASA and the ESA.

This controversial idea named Encke’s Comet and the Taurid meteor shower as the principal culprits and dated the first encounters to around 3100 BC. This date coincides with the conclusions of David Furlong[285] and Timo Niroma who note cultural and meteorological upheavals at that same time.
Steel has his own website(b).
