The extinction of the dinosaurs and around three-quarters of all living species was almost
certainly caused by a large asteroid impact 66 million years ago. Seismic data acquired …

The Moon is exceptional and important because it is the only planetary body besides the
Earth for which we have both a detailed stratigraphic history and datable rock samples that …

Vertebrate palaeontology is a lively field, with new discoveries reported every week... and
not only dinosaurs! This new edition reflects the international scope of vertebrate …

Topography and gravity measured by the Mars Global Surveyor have enabled determination
of the global crust and upper mantle structure of Mars. The planet displays two distinct …

The environmental severity of large impacts on Earth is influenced by their impact trajectory.
Impact direction and angle to the target plane affect the volume and depth of origin of …

This book provides a general introduction to impact stratigraphy, with emphasis on the
recognition of distal impact ejecta in the field, by focusing on the impactoclastic layers of the …

The Bedout High, located on the northwestern continental margin of Australia, has emerged
as a prime candidate for an end-Permian impact structure. Seismic imaging, gravity data …

We use hydrocode modeling to investigate dynamic models for the collapse of the Chicxulub
impact crater. Our aim is to integrate the results from numerical simulations with kinematic …

Impact craters are observed on the surfaces of all rocky planets and satellites in our Solar
System; some impacts on Earth, such as the Cretaceous/Tertiary one that formed the …

Geophysical data indicate that the 65.5 million years ago Chicxulub impact structure is a
multi‐ring basin, with three sets of semicontinuous, arcuate ring faults and a topographic …
