There are plenty of craters on Mars, especially when compared to Earth. That is primarily thanks to the lack of weathering forces and strong plate tectonics that disrupt the formations of such impacts ...

In recent research published by myself and my colleague Tony Yeates in the journal Tectonophysics, we investigate what we believe – based on many years of experience in asteroid impact research – is ...

This image of a well-preserved unnamed elliptical crater in Terra Sabaea, is illustrative of the complexity of ejecta deposits forming as a by-product of the impact process that shapes much of the ...

What new methods can be developed to study the Martian subsurface? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets hopes to address as an international team of ...

A team of planetary scientists has developed a promising new way to peer beneath the dusty surface of Mars and other planetary bodies. A new study finds that ejecta blankets -- the layers of rock and ...

The news about the discovery of the world’s largest asteroid impact crater is huge, if true—323-miles-in-diameter huge. Dubbed the Deniliquin structure, UNSW adjunct professor and asteroid impact ...

Hidden beneath a kilometre of ice in northwestern Greenland, an impact crater that could swallow a city the size of London, Ont. is the subject of much debate about its origins and age. Now, Western ...
