Impact Stratigraphy
Author: Alessandro MontanariPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540483667
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This book provides a general introduction to impact stratigraphy, with emphasis on the recognition of distal impact ejecta in the field, by focusing on the impactoclastic layers of the Umbria-Marche sequence in Central Italy, with an almost perfect stratigraphic record over the last 200 Million years. A general introduction to impact cratering and a discussion of distal ejecta and impact layers around the world is followed by a detailed description of the record of the impact of extraterrestrial bodies in sediments of the Umbria-Marche Apennines. The volume is of interest to a diverse audience in the geological and planetary sciences, ranging from (upper) undergraduate to research level. This book can also be used by students and researchers as a field guide to some of the most important Italian impact layers.
Tektites in the Geological Record
Author: Gerald Joseph Home McCallPublisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862390850
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This text commences with the history of tektites, from mediaeval China, through finds in Czechoslovakia in the 18th century and Darwin's description while on the Beagle, to 20th-century finds in South East Asia, the Ivory Coast and the USA. The four major strewn fields are described, followed by their extension by deep sea finds of microtektites and the recognition of irregular, large layered tektites in SE Asia.

Catastrophic Events Caused by Cosmic Objects
Author: Vitaly AdushkinPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402064527
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
An asteroid or comet will inevitably strike the Earth some day, and potentially cause great destruction. This volume considers hazards due to collisions with cosmic objects, particularly in light of recent investigations of impacts by the authors. Each chapter, written by an expert, contains an overview of an aspect and new findings in the field. Coverage describes and numerically estimates the main hazardous effects.
Distal Impact Ejecta Layers
Author: Billy P. GlassPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540882626
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 723
Book Description
Impact cratering is an important geological process on all solid planetary bodies, and, in the case of Earth, may have had major climatic and biological effects. Most terrestrial impact craters have been erased or modified beyond recognition. However, major impacts throw ejecta over large areas of the Earth's surface. Recognition of these impact ejecta layers can help fill in the gaps in the terrestrial cratering record and at the same time provide direct correlation between major impacts and other geological events, such as climatic changes and mass extinctions. This book provides the first summary of known distal impact ejecta layers
