They are quite different . The first statement:
"The Holocene Start Impact Event is dated to ca 10,850 BCE.
That roughly corresponds to the Allerod in Europe.
The Younger Dryas began about 1,000 years later."
Suggests the YD began c. 9,850 BC .Which is wrong .
The 2nd "The melt of the ice cap begins ca. 10,850 BCE. That corresponds to the Allerod in Europe.
It continues for roughly 1,000 years, then the drainage of glacial ice water begins.
That corresponds to the Younger Dryas in Europe.
Suggests that the YD corresponds to Allerod in Europe which began c. 10,850 BC and continued for 1000 years i.e. c.9,850 BC
which is clearly different .
