Impact Decompression Melting: A Possible Trigger for Impact Induced Volcanism and Mantle Hotspots ?
We examine the potential for decompression melting beneath a large terrestrial impact crater, as a mechanism for generating sufficent quantity of melt to auto-obliterate the crater. Decompression melting of the sub-crater mantle may initiate almost instan

Preface The present volume is an outcome of the scientific programme “Response of the Earth System to Impact Processes” (IMPACT) by the European Science Foundation (ESF). The ESF is an association of 67 national member organizations devoted to scientific research in 24 European countries. The IMPACT programme is aimed at understanding meteorite impact processes and their effects on the Earth System. Launched in 1998 for duration of 5 years, 15 ESF member organizations now participate in this programme, which will officially end in late 2003, although th
