Hypervelocity impacts are the most important planetary process across the Solar System, and fundamentally change the physical properties of planetary crust. They represent significant regional to global hazards but can also generate habitable environments that persist long after impact.
I-CREATE is a 3-day workshop in Edinburgh, with an field trip to the NW Highlands to visit the Stac Fada Member impact ejecta deposits. The goal is to develop new drilling proposals investigating buried impact craters, to test fundamental physics of impact cratering, and investigate the environmental consequences of such events.
This workshop is co-funded by the Magellan3 workshop series and the US Science Support Program.
