Several aspects of what happens during an impact event are not understood. To better understand the effects cratering has on the Earth, we need to better understand the process of cratering and associated ejecta emplacement. This project looks at the Stac Fada ejecta blanket and its relationship to enclosing, well-exposed sedimentary strata along 50km of coastline in NW Scotland. The aim is to learn what happens during major impacts and how the regional environment is affected.

撞击事件期间发生的情况的几个方面尚不清楚。为了更好地了解陨石坑对地球的影响，我们需要更好地了解陨石坑和相关喷射物的形成过程。该项目着眼于 Stac Fada 喷射物覆盖层及其与苏格兰西北部 50 公里海岸线周围暴露良好的沉积地层的关系。目的是了解重大影响期间会发生什么以及区域环境如何受到影响。
