“…Furthermore, for craters on Earth, these data can be used by field geologists to correlate features mapped on the ground (e.g. Zumsprekel and Bischoff, 2005). Another method for deriving morphometry and altimetry is the use of individual or paired stereo images (i.e.…”

“…From remnants of about 10 km diameter central uplift we can assume an original crater diameter of ~40 km, relying on the analogy with the well‐studied Puchezh‐Katunki impact crater (Ivanov ), in parallel with original estimates by Shoemaker and Shoemaker (), and in contrast with the 24–26 km diameter mentioned by other authors (Spray et al. ; Zumsprekel and Bischoff ; Glikson ). We do not know if such an impact could have affected the Snowball thermo‐atmospheric dynamics.…”

“…The only known late Neoproterozoic impact structure (http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/ Agesort.html) is Strangways, Northern Territory, Australia, with a measured age of 646 AE 42 Ma (Spray et al 1999). From remnants of about 10 km diameter central uplift we can assume an original crater diameter of 40 km, relying on the analogy with the well-studied Puchezh-Katunki impact crater (Ivanov 2007), in parallel with original estimates by Shoemaker and Shoemaker (1996), and in contrast with the 24-26 km diameter mentioned by other authors (Spray et al 1999;Zumsprekel and Bischoff 2005;Glikson 2018). We do not know if such an impact could have affected the Snowball thermo-atmospheric dynamics.…”

Several Snowball Earth periods, in which the Earth has been (almost) totally glaciated, are known from Earth history. Neither the trigger for the initiation, nor the reason for the ending of such phases, are well understood. Here we discuss some mechanical effects of the impact of asteroids 5–10 km in diameter on the Snowball Earth environment. An impact of this scale is the largest impact that is statistically predictable for 10–60 Myr time periods. The impact cratering itself (shock waves, impact crater formation) is not powerful enough to change the natural climate evolution path on Earth. However, the products of impact (mainly—water vapor) can be quickly distributed over a substantial part of the globe, influencing the global circulation (e.g., facilitating cloud formation). It is a question for future studies to confirm if such an event (which is possible statistically during this interval) may or may not have influenced the global climate of the Snowball Earth, and/or contributed to deglaciation.

Identification and mapping of hypervelocity impact crater (HICs) sites require significant effort on ground truthing data collection and local instrument-driven research. The recent advancements in Earth observation (EO) technology and geographical information systems (GIS) have increased our ability to study HICs. With EO imagery and relevant spatial data now readily available online at no cost, GIS and remote sensing provide a very attractive option in investigating the Earth's surface. In this framework, our study addresses the use of GIS and EO techniques by looking at a possible impact crater in upstate New York, United States. The Panther Mountain crater is thought to have been created by a meteor impact over 300,000 years ago during the Devonian or Mississippian geologic periods. Using freely available data from previous research, this study aimed at mapping land cover and geologic data and analyzing their correlation at Panther Mountain and it surrounding area. Findings of the study have showed encouraging results. A correlation between Panther Mountain's bedrock geology and vegetation was reported to be higher than the coefficient of the surrounding area. Similarly, the correlation between Panther Mountain's surficial geology type and vegetation was significantly lower than that of the other region. The significant difference in correlations between the two regions supports the Panther Mountain impact site. All in all, the present study also produced encouraging results as regards to the use of GIS in identifying potential hypervelocity crater sites.
