Asteroid Impact Simulation

This simulation allows you to type in variables of an asteroid impact. How big the asteroid is, how fast it’s traveling, its impact angle, what kind of surface it hits and more. Then you can calculate the effects and find out the crater dimensions, thermal radiation and much more. Each is explained in detail.

Earth-Science

The complexity of the Earth system, in which spatial and temporal variability exists on a range of scales, requires that an organized scientific approach be developed for addressing the complex, interdisciplinary problems that exist, taking good care that in doing so there is a recognition of the objective to integrate science across the programmatic elements towards a comprehensive understanding of the Earth system.
