A method to assess event magnitude and target water depth for marine-target impacts. Part 2: The physics behind the observations [proceedings].

Fragments from the solid target are mixed with the seawater. After an initial turbulent phase the suspended solid particles begin to settle. Previous studies of resurge sediments in drill cores from several craters indicate a relationship between the sedimentology, the target water depth, and the magnitude of the event [1]. Here we investigate the physics behind the relationship.3eng© Author(s) 2020.Atribución 3.0 Españaconference posterFísicaGeologíaMaterialesRecursos Naturaleshttps://doi.org/10.5194/epsc2020-931open access19313EPSC Abstracts14CC/0000033563
