Scientific paper

Gravity data provide important constraints on morphometry of impact structures and on the crustal response to the impact process. Such data can provide insight that may not be obtainable from surface geologic mapping and may not be quickly or cheaply obtained by other geophysical means. The gravity data can be used to constrain the dimensions of a completely to partly buried structure (e.g., diameter, central uplift, etc.) and can provide information on the subsurface character of both exposed and buried structures. Gravity data can also be used to reject some structures as being of impact origin.
