I think migration is a much easier argument to make than "civilization", especially when it gobekli tepi predates domesticated civilization by thousands of years, and cultivation of seeds began around twelve to fifteen thousand years before concrete evidence of settled civilization.
Still, if you're determined to link migrations to a single disaster, look no further than the link between the Toba eruption and the introduction of humans to Australia for the first time around ~70kya.
