Summary

Impact is a fundamental solar system process: it builds planets from dust, it shapes planetary surfaces, it causes mass extinction and it threatens the survival of humankind. My research explores the many consequences of impacts in the solar system through the development and application of numerical impact models.

Research Interests

My interests include all aspects of impact cratering and other, related violent geologic processes.

I develop and use numerical models to study impact processes, their consequences on Earth and in our Solar System, and related large, rapid, violent geologic processes, such as large rock avalanches.

For more information on my research, please visit my research pages.

To learn more about impact cratering and the potential effects of impacts on Earth, try the calculators that I have helped develop:

The Earth Impact Effects Program

Cratering in the News

There are ~190 known impact craters on Earth, and more are found each year. Some recent media articles I have been involved in:

Meteor crater formed by low-velocity impact
Is Silverpit "crater" the UK''s first impact crater?
Is Lake Cheko a crater associated with the Tunguska event?
An impact really did kill the dinosaurs
Lunar impact: how the Moon’s Mare Orientale was formed
Asteroid strike made 'instant Himalayas'
Ancient Earth rock found on the Moon
Dinosaur-dooming asteroid struck Earth at ‘deadliest possible’ angle
Extremely rare fireball meteorite found in UK
Small impacts on Mars heard by InSight
Spectacular impact observed on Mars by InSight
