Scientific drilling of the Boltysh impact crater, Ukraine [PDF]
Introduction: The Boltysh crater has been known for several decades and was first drilled in the 1960s as part of a study of economic oil shale deposits. Unfortunately, the cores were not curated and have been lost.

Investigating the decline of a caribou population in central British Columbia, we found that 1) recent wildfires were a stronger draw for primary ungulate prey than cutblocks, 2) most predators were associated with primary prey but had mixed responses to disturbance, and 3) caribou used cutblocks, potentially increasing their risk.

Morphological Features-Based Descriptive Index System for Lunar Impact Craters
Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence ...

A Second Large Subglacial Impact Crater in Northwest Greenland? [PDF]
Following the discovery of the Hiawatha impact crater beneath the northwest margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet, we explored satellite and aerogeophysical data in search of additional such craters.

Abstract Chlorophyll a is commonly used as a surrogate for algal biomass in lakes and oceans even though phytoplankton can readily adjust intracellular chlorophyll concentration to changes in the environment through a cellular process termed photoacclimation.

A schematic illustrating WS‐reinforced composite erosion testing at 34 m/s across 30°–90° impingement angles, with SEM views of the eroded surfaces and a trend of resistance gains via hardness, toughness, interfacial strength, and energy dissipation. ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the solid particle erosion behavior of walnut shell ...

Whump, Slosh, Slosh, Slosh—Filling the Crater That Did in the Dinosaurs
Drilling into the Chicxulub crater (Yucatan, Mexico) reveals the dramatic aftermath of the dinosaur‐killing meteorite impact. Previous views of this event have mainly come from places well away from Ground Zero, where we see the extinction of ~70% of ...

Hypervelocity impact study: The effect of impact angle on crater morphology [PDF]
The Space Power Institute (SPI) of Auburn University has conducted preliminary tests on the effects of impact angle on crater morphology for hypervelocity impacts. Copper target plates were set at angles of 30 deg and 60 deg from the particle flight path.

ABSTRACT The paper investigates environmental conditions prevailing at the southern margin of the European periglacial domain in NW Hungary (Kemeneshát area) during the Late Pleistocene. Samples of sediments infilling sand wedges and their host sediments were analyzed by examining the grain‐size distributions, as well as the morphology and ...
