In the geological sciences it has only recently been recognized how important the process of
impact cratering is on a planetary scale, where it is commonly the most important surface …

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 …

We report on numerical modeling results of postimpact cooling of craters with diameters of
30, 100, and 180 km in an early Martian environment, with and without the presence of …

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 …

Multi-ring impact basins have been found on the surfaces of almost all planetary bodies in
the Solar system with solid crusts. The details of their formation mechanism are still unclear …

To ascertain the progressive stages of shock metamorphism of zircon, samples from three
well‐studied impact craters were analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron …

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 …

We present the results of numerical modeling of the formation of the Ries crater utilizing the
two hydrocodes SOVA and iSALE. These standard models allow us to reproduce crater …

Large impact events like the one that formed the Chicxulub crater deliver significant amounts
of heat that subsequently drive hydrothermal activity. We report on numerical modeling of …

The Cretaceous ended when the Chicxulub asteroid struck the Yucatán platform, and all
deposits and landforms generated are earliest Paleocene in age. Drill core from the …
