Effects of Chicxulub Impact on Earth Surface Biosphere and Atmosphere

• What are the effects of Chicxulub impact on earth surface biosphere and atmosphere?
• Transport processes of solid materials from impact site to adjacent areas?

Current needs:

Tabulate solid produced by impact:

1. Rock Clasts
2. Glass spherules – liquid rock
3. Carbonat accretionary spherules – precipitate from vapor

Analytical data:

• Structural mapping of spherules
• Elemental analysis of spherules

Participating institutions:

• Autonomous University of Yucatan (UPY)
• Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)
• Texas A&M University (TAMU)
