Holocene impact craters on Earth
Impact craters are formed by collisions of cosmic bodies moving with hypervelocity. The formation of these features is not restricted to the distant geological past; new structures are constantly being created and at least 13 confirmed impact craters and

Lunar Evolution Analysis Based on Numerical Simulations of Typical Lunar Impact Craters
Impact craters are one of the most important landforms on the lunar surface, playing a crucial role in the formation and later evolution of the Moon. For example, as a primary source of remote sensing observations and lunar samples, lunar regolith is ...

ASTEROID (21) LUTETIA: SEMI-AUTOMATIC IMPACT CRATERS DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION [PDF]
The need to develop an automated method, independent of lighting and surface conditions, for the identification and measurement of impact craters, as well as the creation of a reliable and efficient tool, has become a justification of our studies.

Impact cratering experiments in brittle targets with variable thickness: Implications for deep pit craters on Mars [PDF]
High-resolution images reveal that numerous pit craters exist on the surface of Mars. For some pit craters, the depth-to-diameter ratios are much greater than for ordinary craters.

Study on the Degradation Pattern of Impact Crater Populations in Yutu-2′s Rovering Area
A detailed analysis of the panoramic camera data from the 27th to 33rd lunar days was conducted on the high-resolution scenes captured by the Yutu-2 rover stations. This analysis aimed to determine the detailed morphological parameters of the 2015 impact

Dark aeolian sediments in Martian craters: Composition and sources
Our research focuses on the mineralogical characteristics of dark sediment deposits in Martian craters (dunes, dune fields, and sand sheets) and their local sediment sources, carried out on the basis of 70 selected localities.

AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND RECOGNITION OF CRATERS BASED ON THE SPECTRAL FEATURES OF LUNAR ROCKS AND MINERALS [PDF]
Crater-detection approaches can be divided into four categories: manual recognition, shape-profile fitting algorithms, machine-learning methods and geological information-based analysis using terrain and spectral data.

A NEW GLOBAL CATALOGUE OF LUNAR CRATERS (≥1 KM) WITH 3D INFORMATION AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF GLOBAL ANALYSIS [PDF]
Impact craters are the predominant geomorphological features on the lunar surface. They can be studied to infer the ages of the lunar surfaces, the generation processes of the geological units, and the sequences of its geological events.
