Earth: Impact Phenomena

Scientific paper

Permanent ice covers ≡18% of the Earth; permafrost underlies a further ≡20%. Response to shallow impacts will vary according to season from brittle fracture to flow accompanied by vaporisation. Seasonal climatic contrasts will thus be enhanced by sub-critical high latitude cratering, as particulate ejecta from icy targets will contribute in the winter months to the "impact winter" effect associated with large events, and water vapour derived from thawed permafrost or melted sea-ice to the atmospheric greenhouse effect in the summer months.
