1. Terrestrial consequences of hypervelocity impact – shock metamorphism, shock barometry, and newly discovered impact structures
Sammanfattning : Impact cratering was once considered a rare geological process of no, or little, importance to the evolution of the Solar System and planet Earth. After more than 50 years of space exploration and the discovery of numerous (~190 as of October 2016) impact structures on Earth, this view has changed, and it is now clear that impact craters are in fact one of the most common morphological features on solid bodies in the Solar System.

2. Leave no trace: A non-destructive correlative approach providing new insights into impactites and meteorites
Sammanfattning : Impact cratering is today recognized as a fundamental geological process on all rocky bodies in the solar system. On Earth, however, processes such as plate tectonics and erosion have eradicated most craters from the geological record, or they may be buried under sediments, oceans, and vegetation. LÄS MER
