The number of newly discovered and confirmed impact structures on earth is growing
continuously. In this review paper, the main attributes of 198 confirmed impact structures and …

Over the past few decades, it has become increasingly clear that the impact of interplanetary
bodies on other planetary bodies is one of the most ubiquitous and important geological …

This chapter is dedicated to H. Jay Melosh who tragically passed away during this endeavor.
From his earliest publications on the concept of acoustic fluidization, to the publication of his …

The morphology of impact craters on the Moon plays an important role in understanding
impact cratering process, surface and subsurface properties, and their evolutions. In this …

The depth-to-diameter (d/D) ratios of small lunar craters (D< 400 m) can be used to
determine important properties of the upper regolith, specifically material strength or …

The diameter range of 15 to 20 km is within the transition from simple to complex impact
craters located on the Moon. This range spans roughly a factor of 3 in impact energy for the …

Impact crater lakes with an inlet valley were common on Mars during past epochs. However,
it has not been established exactly how impact craters with initially high-standing rims were …

Impact craters are the dominant features on the Moon, and their degradation with time is the
most common geological process on this body. This work is aimed at detailed quantitative …

This study investigates the morphology and ejecta emplacement dynamics of the
Copernican-aged Das crater on the lunar farside. High-resolution panchromatic images, and …

The morphology of fresh lunar craters contains information about the physical properties of
both the impactors and the lunar surface, and is therefore crucial to our knowledge of the …
