ISBN: 3540882596 ISBN-13: 9783540882596 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $161.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2010 Annotation: The MjA, lnir impact structure was recognized in 1993 and included in the Earth Impact Database in 1996, based on the discoveries of unequivocal meteorite impact indicators such as shocked quartz, Ir-enrichments, possible glass remnants, fragments of nickel-rich iron oxides, in addition to the convincing complex crater shape of the structure. This book presents the geological and geophysical history of the Barents Sea region along with the discovery of the MjA, lnir impact crater. We place the MjA, lnir event into the geological framework of the region and present elaborative numerical models of its formation and associated tsunami generation. The book represents an update and synthesis as well as the complete compilation of the MjA, lnir crater studies. |
