SUMMARY:Impact cratering: Shock physics on a planetary scale - Gareth Coll
 ins\, Department of Earth Science\, Imperial College\, London

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:Collisions between planetary bodies have played an important r
 ole in shaping our solar system and the evolution of life within it. Key t
 o understanding the multifarious consequences of such impacts is a thoroug
 h comprehension of the impact process itself. I will discuss recent advanc
 es in the understanding of impact cratering through numerical simulations 
 of impacts on planetary surfaces.
