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 ...

Traces of impact craters in the geoid
Tectonophysics, 1992A well-known method for studying the impact craters on the Earth’s surface is gravity measurements. For practical studies, the gravity measured on the surface must first be reduced to a particular standard. In a simpIe procedure, after subtracting the latitude-dependent normal gravity, the topographic masses outside the geoid are either completely ...

Elements, 2012
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 ...

The classic studies of the Barringer Crater, Arizona, Ries Crater, South Germany, and more recently Chicxulub impact structure, Yucatan, and other craters, coupled with laboratory high-velocity impact experiments, have established the dynamics of impact cratering, shock metamorphism and ballistic ejecta processes.
