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 …

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 Chicxulub impact is thought to have triggered a global winter at the Cretaceous-
Palaeogene (K-Pg) boundary 66 million years ago. Yet the climatic consequences of the …

It has been 10 years since publication of the first edition ofSoils of the Past. In that time the
subject of paleopedology hasgrown rapidly, and established itself within the mainstream …

This handbook of Shock-Metamorphic Effects in Terrestrial Meteorite Impact Structures
emphasizes terrestrial impact structures, field geology, and particularly the recognition and …

We review the major impact‐associated mechanisms proposed to cause extinctions at the
Cretaceous‐Tertiary geological boundary. We then discuss how the proposed extinction …

The thermodynamic properties of SiO2 are approximated over a range of pressures and
temperatures important under the extreme conditions achieved in impacts at typical solar …

Ancient ice ages are revealed by distinctive stratal facies that tell us much about the times of
coolness and how the climate system works. Several strong ice ages were recorded in the …

Abstract Changes in pollen and spore assemblages across the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–
Pg) boundary elucidate the vegetation response to a global environmental crisis triggered …

The interest in seismic stratigraphic techniques to interpret reflection datasets is well
established. The advent of sophisticated subsurface reservoir studies and 4D monitoring, for …
