A major tool in the initial recognition and study of terrestrial impact craters,∼ 20% of which
are buried beneath postimpact sediments, is geophysics. The general geophysical character …

We report results of an interdisciplinary project devoted to the 26 km‐diameter Ries crater
and to the genesis of suevite. Recent laboratory analyses of “crater suevite” occurring within …

The Ries crater represents one of the best investigated, large, complex terrestrial impact
structures with a well preserved'ejecta blanket'. The Ries crater is, therefore, used as an …

The Ries Crater, an impact structure of 26 km diameter in south Germany, is the largest
terrestrial crater where substantial amounts of ejecta are preserved, on occasion> 100 m …

The lithologies and distribution of the various ejecta formations from the Ries crater,
Germany, are described. They may be subdivided into:(1) low shock level (< 10 GPa) …

The marginal carbonate facies of the Miocene Ries meteorite crater lake in southern
Germany contain bioherms up to 7 m high and 15 m across built by the green alga …

Large impact crater formation is an important geologic process that is not fully understood.
The current paradigm for impact crater formation is based on models and observations of …

Considering the Ries crater as an example for middle-sized complex impact structures on
Earth, we use geophysical data to examine the structure underneath the crater and simulate …

Since its recognition as an impact structure 60 years ago, no volcanics were anticipated in
the circular depression of the 14.8 Ma old Nördlinger Ries. Here, we describe for the first …

The Ries crater is a well‐preserved, complex impact crater that has been extensively used in
the study of impact crater formation processes across the solar system. However, its …
