Earth Impact Database
The Earth Impact Database comprises a list of confirmed impact structures from around the world. The database was conceived in its earliest form when a systematic search for impact craters was initiated in 1955 by the Dominion Observatory, Ottawa, under the direction of Dr. Carlyle S. Beals . This was achieved via the study of over 200,000 aerial photographs of the Canadian Shield. Since that time the list has grown as new craters have been added. When the Dominion Observatory impact group moved to the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) in the late 1980s, a more formal listing was developed. In 2001, following termination of impact studies at the GSC, the database was transferred to the Planetary and Space Science Centre at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The site is currently managed by Jason Hines (Data Manager, NASA Regional Planetary Image Facility, Planetary and Space Science Centre) and John Spray (Director, Planetary and Space Science Centre). Major contributions to the development of earlier versions of this database have been made by colleagues Richard Grieve and James Whitehead. http://www.unb.ca/passc/ImpactDatabase/index.html - Detail Google PR
