Conference on Large Meteorite Impacts and Planetary Evolution (Sudbury 1997)

Abstract

Topics considered include: Petrography, geochemistry and geochronology; impact-induced hydrothermal base metal mineralization; nickel-and platinum group element -enriched quartz norite in the latest Jurassic morokweng impact structure, South Africa; extraterrestrial helium trapped in fullerenes in the Sudbury; synthetic aperture radar characteristics of a glacially modified meltsheet; the Chicxulub seismic experiment; chemical compositions of Chicxulub impact breccias; experimental investigation of the chemistry of vaporization of targets in relation to the Chicxulub impact; artificial ozone hole generation following a large meteoroid impact into an oceanic site; three dimensional modeling of impactite bodies of Popigai impact crater, Russia.
