The effects of the spreading of the Central Atlantic during the Middle Jurassic on dinosaur faunas [PDF]
, 2012 The spreading of the Central Atlantic is a complex series of events that include a ridge jump to the east and a ridge jump to the west at c. 170Ma and c. 162Ma respectively.

The Tapanui region of New Zealand: Site of a Tunguska around 800 years ago? [PDF]
Evidence is discussed that the wide-spread fires ca. 800 years ago which denuded the southern provinces of the South Island of New Zealand of the extensive forests present at that time were due to the entry of a large bolide into the atmosphere, the ...

Mass Extinctions Caused by Large Bolide Impacts
Physics Today, 1987 A wealth of evidence has forced my colleagues and me to conclude that 65 million years ago a mountain-sized object hit Earth and caused the extinction of most of the then existing species, bringing a close to the Cretaceous period of geological history and opening the Tertiary period. Much of the evidence for this lies in the unusual layer of clay that

, 1997 We present a review of the literature on the subject of a possible collision between the Earthand a meteorite or comet. We emphasize the global effects when sufficient energy is involved.We propose several types of human actions adapted to the physico-chemical nature of thecollider bolide.

GOES GLM, biased bolides, and debiased distributions
IcarusThe large combined field of view of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instruments onboard the GOES weather satellites makes them useful for studying the population of other atmospheric phenomena, such as bolides. Being a lightning mapper, GLM has many detection biases when applied to non-lightning and these systematics must be studied and ...

Acute effects of a large bolide impact simulated by a global atmospheric circulation model [PDF]
The goal is to use a global three-dimensional atmospheric circulation model developed for studies of atmospheric effects of nuclear war to examine the time evolution of atmospheric effects from a large bolide impact.
