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 …

Anthropogenically elevated CO2 (eCO2) concentrations have been suggested to increase
woody cover within tropical ecosystems through fertilization. The effect of eCO2 is built into …

More than 50 years of space and planetary exploration and concomitant studies of terrestrial
impact structures have demonstrated that impact cratering has been a fundamental process …

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 …

Igneous rocks are the primary building blocks of planetary crusts. Most igneous rocks
originate via decompression melting and/or wet melting of protolith lithologies within …

The Bosumtwi impact crater in Ghana, arguably the best‐preserved complex young impact
structure known on Earth, displays a pronounced rim and is almost completely filled by Lake …

Terrestrial fossil pollen records are frequently used to reveal the response of vegetation to
changes in both regional and global climate. Here we present a fossil pollen record from …

Thirty samples of sediments were taken from Bosumtwi Lake (also called Bosomtwe Lake) in
Ghana and analyzed for the contents of Fe, As, Hg, Co, Cr, Ni, Cd, and Pb. Several pollution …
