"Impact Studies" Series. Pictorial Hardcover, 8vo (16 x 24 cm), XVI-376 pages. English edition. Text illustrated with figures. The biological effects of asteroid and comet impacts have been widely viewed as primarily destructive. The diversity of papers presented in this volume (the 10th of a series resulting from the activities of the IMPACT program) attest of the fact that impact cratering is very much a biological process. These papers -presented in 2003 at King's College, Cambridge - investigate the effects of asteroid and comet impacts on a diversity of biological and evolutionary processes including the survival of organics and microbial ecosystems to the extinction of organisms.

Les effets biologiques des impacts des astéroïdes et des comètes ont été souvent considérés comme par nature destructeurs. La diversité des articles présentés dans ce volume (le 10e d?une série résultant des activités du programme IMPACT) atteste du fait que le cratère d?impact est un processus essentiellement biologique. Ces articles, présentés en 2003 au King's College de Cambridge, étudient les effets des astéroïdes et des comètes sur différents processus biologiques et évolutifs, y compris la survie des écosystèmes organiques et microbiens à l'extinction des organismes.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The biological effects of asteroid and comet impacts have been widely viewed as primarily destructive. The role of an impactor in the K/T boundary extinctions has had a particularly important influence on thinking concerning the role of impacts in ecological and biological changes. th During the 10 and final workshop of the ESF IMPACT program during March 2003, we sought to investigate the wider aspects of the involvement of impact events in biological processes, including the beneficial role of these events from the prebiotic through to the ecosystem level. The ESF IMPACT programme (1998-2003) was an interdisciplinary effort that is aimed at understanding impact processes and their effects on the Earth environment, including environmental, geological and biological changes. The IMPACT programme has 15 member states and the activities of the programme range from workshops to short courses on topics such as impact stratigraphy, shock metamorphism, etc. The program has also awarded mobility grants and been involved in the development of teaching aids and numerous publications, including this one.
