Encyclopedic atlas of terrestrial impact craters
Encyclopedic atlas of terrestrial impact craters[electronic resource] /edited by Enrico Flamini, Mario Di Martino, Alessandro Coletta. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xvii, 691 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Section 1 - Chapters -- Impacting Bodies and Post-Impact Modification Processes on Earth -- Cosmic Impacts: a Planetary Surfaces Modification Process -- Impact Crater -- The Planet Earth: a Review of the Influence of Cratering on the Geological Evolution of our Planet -- Observation from Space: SAR Systems -- Observation from Space: OPTICAL Systems -- Section 2 - Terrestrial Impact Craters List.

This comprehensive atlas explains the genesis and evolution of impact known craters on Earth, presenting a wealth of radar images from the Italian COSMO-SkyMed satellites that were acquired at the same frequency, spatial resolution, operating mode, and illumination, allowing excellent comparison of different impact structures. It also discusses in detail the processes that have hidden or erased terrestrial impact craters, and clearly explains the basic principles of remote sensing and the COSMO-SkyMed system and radar instruments. Also, the optical satellite remote sensing technique used to produce the optical images is described. The main section documents each of the exposed craters officially recognized as caused by meteoritic impact, presenting a table with the COSMO-SkyMed radar image and, where available, a Sentinel optical image and a photograph taken in situ. A short accompanying text reports the location, context, geographical coordinates, and other ancillary information to support future researches.
