GSA SESSION T229 – THE HOLEY SOLAR SYSTEM

We want to draw your attention to this session at the GSA Annual Meeting on impact cratering. Please consider submitting an abstract!

Deadline is July 29, 2014.

This session focuses on the nature of impact craters and processes. Terrestrial craters provide ground-truth for the remote sensing interpretation of planetary craters. We solicit contributions regarding shock processes, materials, modeling, geologic structure,

impactor evolution, and airburst phenomena are solicited. Comparisons of cratering among different size bodies are encouraged.

Data from terrestrial field work, advances in modeling and experimentation, spacecraft data have provided significant new insight into the characteristics of the impact cratering processes. This session will provide an opportunity to share information and insight.
