Structure Across Center of Chicxulub Impact Crater

PI将对尤卡坦海岸和近海接收器记录的海洋快照进行层析分析和广角迁移，以研究希克苏鲁布撞击坑的结构。这一分析可以对撞击坑中心结构的某些方面提供新的约束，例如，深基底隆起和下方莫霍面的位置，撞击的倾角，以及撞击熔体的几何形状和体积。这是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和伦敦帝国理工学院的联合项目。

The PI will perform a tomographic analysis and wide-angle migration of marine shots recorded by receivers onshore and offshore Yucatan to study the structure of the Chicxulub impact crater. The analysis could provide new constraints on aspects of the central structure of the impact crater, e.g., deep basement uplift and position of the Moho underneath, obliquity of the impact, and geometry and volume of the impact melt sheet. This is a joint project between University of Texas at Austin and Imperial College, London.
