Profile

The PCC is a community organization of planetary scientists interested in impact cratering on solar system bodies (planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and/or comets), including observational, theoretical, experimental, and numerical modeling studies.

Planetary Crater Consortium

Did you know impact craters can provide us a window into the subsurface? Occator Crater on Ceres contains bright material, remnants of a salty brine, that migrated from the deep subsurface reservoir to the surface. The size and energy of the Occator impact provided a pathway for this migration!

Upcoming PCC Meeting July 15-17 at the USGS-Flagstaff! Abstract Submission (deadline June 17): forms.gle/APaNS8G7ycJx... Registration: forms.gle/RpGWUMaK6qdk... We welcome submission for all things craters Observational work, planetary remote sensing, modeling, field work, lab experiments, etc.!

Wooo big basins!

Come join us in Flagstaff!

Happy Earth Day! The Earth has hundreds of confirmed impact craters, which provide a key reference point for impact cratering research. Field and laboratory studies of terrestrial impact craters are a key part of how we learn about craters, including how they form and decay through time.
