Scientific paper

Most literature on the effect of near earth object (NEO) impacts on our planet has focused on extinction-level events of the sort that apparently ended the Cretaceous era 65 million years ago, and that are likely to recur on the order of tens of millions of years. However, subcritical events will occur with much greater frequency that may cause massive but mostly regional or localised damage. This article discussed the effects of and human responses to subcritical NEO impacts. It begins with a description of the likelihood of impacts the detection of threats, and the physical effects of impact. It then turns to the actions that might be taken to help the survivors and restore economic activity.
