Ejecta distribution patterns at Meteor Crater, Arizona: On the applicability of lithologic end-member deconvolution for spaceborne thermal infrared data of Earth and Mars

[1] A spectral deconvolution using a constrained least squares approach was applied to airborne thermal infrared multispectral scanner (TIMS) data of Meteor Crater, Arizona. The three principal sedimentary units sampled by the impact were chosen as endmembers, and their spectra were derived from the emissivity images. To validate previous estimates of the erosion of the near-rim ejecta, the mod...

Terrestrial Volcanic and Impact Analogs to Small Martian Craters: Utilizing Remote Sensing and Field-based Datasets to Analyze Formational and Sediment Transport Processes

Introduction: Two terrestrial craters of different origins have been selected as field sites for this continuing work: El Elegante Crater, a maar crater in the Pinacate Volcanic Field (PVF) in northern Mexico, formed approximately 150,000 years ago from phrea-tomagmatic explosions [1-2], and Meteor Crater, an impact crater located in central Arizona, formed approximately 50,000 years ago from t...

Themis Observations of Low-albedo Intracrater Materials and Wind Streaks in Western Arabia Terra

Introduction: Thermal infrared day and night images (100m/pixel) from the Mars Odyssey Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) are used for thermophysical and spectral analyses of low-albedo intracrater materials and wind streaks in Western Ara-bia Terra. THEMIS data are compared with Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) derived surface compositions and Mars Or-biter ...

Meteor Crater, Arizona

The location of Meteor Crater is shown on nearly all highway maps of Arizona. It lies 6 mi (9.7 km) south of 1-40 between Flagstaff and Winslow in northern Arizona; the turnoff from 1-40, 34 mi (55 km) east of Flagstaff, is well marked by signs along the highway. Access to the crater is by a paved road that leads directly to a visitor center and museum on the rim of the crater. Qualified scient...

Impact fracturing and structural modification of sedimentary rocks at Meteor Crater, Arizona

[1] Meteor Crater provides a rare opportunity to study impact deformation of sedimentary target rocks and isolate those features from preexisting tectonic deformation and impact-generated reactivation of preexisting tectonic features. This study reports over 2500 new measurements of orientations of bedding, faults, and fractures in crater walls and in surrounding bedrock. Target rocks are chara...
