This paper discusses the geological setting of the Haughton impact structure, which constitutes a complex crater centered near the western end of Devon Island (Canada), together with the results of investigations carried out on the structure prior to 1984. The crater, 23-24 km in diameter, was formed in the late Miocene within a sequence of devonian and older sedimentary rocks. In 1984, a multidisciplinary multinational study group, called the Haughton Impact Structure Studies (HISS) program, was set up to perform detailed geological mapping and sampling as well as seismic, gravity, and magnetic surveys in order to improve the definition of the surface and subsurface nature of Haughton, and to formulate a more complete understanding of its formation and history. The publications that present the results of particular studies carried out under the HISS project are listed.
