Keynote - Drilling the Chicxulub Impact Structure - Study of Large Impact Formation and Effects

- In 2016, the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 364 drilled and analysed 830 m of core from the 66 million year old Chicxulub impact crater’s peak ring. Chicxulub is unique as the only preserved large impact on Earth and the only impact event linked to mass extinction. Key results are that the Chicxulub peak ring is formed from fractured basement rocks that may host a subsurface biosphere. The impactite layer overlying the peak ring in turn provides insight into resurge and tsunami processes, while the Paleogene sediments contain the record of the recovery of life after the mass extinction event. Analyses greatly aided by a public-private partnership on X-ray CT imaging and analysis with Enthought.

I like this presentation. Not too technical, not too dumbed down. I'm "just a housewife" but I found a lot of this fascinating. My young teen son and I spent a couple of hours looking at your graphs and examples and waving our arms around simulating impacts and blasts and explaining it to ourselves. Now that he and I have answered all the questions we're anxious to see more of this.
This was **fascinating**. I can't believe what is being done these days in every field of science. Thank you so much.
Just like me I follow everything related to science in general, and at the same time I practice my second language English
I'm a simple citizen and I'm here because of my high level of curiosity 🤘😷👍📐
Using this for my online lecture on the KT boundary--serious awesome sauce.
I like everything presented about the cores. That's some amazing work and just imagine being able to look at bits of earth through the ages with your own eyes.. Imagining how life on earth was impacted at the time of each of those layers and the transitions.
Very interesting presentation! I just had a lecturer who has worked in the area but he is an archaeologist so he is looking at waaay younger stuff :-)
The sad part is that this video has only 14000 views.
It's interesting the time scale it takes life to rebound after an extinction level event.

this video is so under rated. should be the to pranking in the topic
Very interesting talk. Thanks for sharing.
awesome stuff
Very interesting. If it had not happened none of use would be here. I wonder if a Dinosaur would have become sentient and civilised eventually or would they all have stayed as they had for so long with brains the size of walnuts?
Should have a million views..but I guess just a small percentage of our population cares about how we became
This dude looks like Jason Isaacs
Its not a crater. It was Atlantis at one point.
Why your hair,wet
what gets me............................... nobody is asking/suggesting> WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN????????????????????
Thank God they didn't ask.
depends on your timeframe
Yes of course, Could be later today might be Millions of years. But a smaller one is overdue I've heard.
An event like this happens roughly every 100 million years. This being 65 million years ago means we could expect another one sometime in the next 35 million years.
a little modesty dude.
