The Chesapeake Bay Crater Geology and Geophysics of a Late Eocene Su
This volume synthesizes 16 years of geological and geophysical studies that document an 85-km-wide impact crater buried 500 m beneath Chesapeake Bay in southeastern Virginia, USA. The authors integrate extensive seismic reflection profiling and deep core

We dedicate this book to David J. Roddy (1932-2002), one of the pioneers of impact cratering studies. For 40 years, Dave was a driving force in the analysis of natural hypervelocity impact structures and the mechanics of nuclear explosion cratering. The wealth of data and observations he contributed remains fundamental to our understanding of the physics of impact cratering and the shock-wave deformation of the Earth's crustal materials.
