It has been known for some time that the volume of impact melt (Vm) relative to that of the transient cavity (Vtc) increases with the magnitude of the impact...
Modeling the volume of impact melt and its variation with the size of the impact event indicates that, for similar-sized final craters, venusian impacts create...
The ~7.5 km diameter Wanapitei impact structure (46°45'N; 80°45'W) lies entirely within Lake Wanapitei in central Ontario, Canada. Impact lithologies are known...
The terrestrial impact record contains currently ~145 structures and includes the morphological crater types observed on the other terrestrial planets. It has,...
Like concentrations of economic resources, terrestrial impact structures are the result of relatively rare geologic events. Economic resources occur in a...
Hypervelocity impact involves the near instantaneous transfer of considerable energy from the impactor to a spatially limited near-surface volume of the target...
