The biology of impact craters — a review
Biological Reviews, 2002ABSTRACTImpact craters contain ecosystems that are often very different from the ecosystems that surround them. On Earth over 150 impact craters have been identified in a wide diversity of biomes. All natural events that can cause localized disruption of ecosystems have quite distinct patterns of recovery.

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1999 ▪ Abstract The detailed morphology of impact craters is now believed to be mainly caused by the collapse of a geometrically simple, bowl-shaped “transient crater.” The transient crater forms immediately after the impact. In small craters, those less than approximately 15 km diameter on the Moon, the steepest part of the rim collapses into the crater ...

Impact cratering is an important and unique geologic process. The high speeds, forces and temperatures involved are quite unlike conventional endogenic processes, and the environmental consequences can be catastrophic. Kilometre-scale craters are excavated and collapse in minutes, in some cases distributing debris around the globe and exhuming deeply ...

Five certain impact craters and 44 additional nearly certain and probable ones have been identified on the 22% of Titan’s surface imaged by Cassini’s high-resolution radar through December 2007. The certain craters have morphologies similar to impact craters on rocky planets, as well as two with radar bright, jagged rims. The less certain craters often

This paper presents a new, global database of lunar impact craters, estimated to be a complete census of all craters with diameters larger than 1–2 km. The database contains over 2 million craters, making it larger in number than any previously published

Abstract The majority of impact craters have circular outlines and axially symmetric morphologies. Deviation from crater circularity is caused by either target heterogeneity, a very oblique impact incidence, post-impact deformation, or by topography.

Calculations are made to determine the sizes of stony and iron meteoroids which could penetrate the atmosphere of Venus and cause hypervelocity impact craters on the planet's surface. Using scaling relationships based on kinetic energy, impact crater size is related to meteoroid size.

High-Resolution Feature Pyramid Network for Automatic Crater Detection on Mars
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021Crater detection is widely used in terrain relative navigation, which can help scientists target a spacecraft's position and estimate the age of a planet.
