Overview

This multiauthor book is a compilation of fourteen papers that result from activities within the scientific programme ""Response of the Earth System to Impact Processes"" (IMPACT) of the European Science Foundation. The program deals with all aspects of meteorite impact research and operates through workshops, exchange programs and short courses. Most of the papers are initiated from the 4th IMPACT workshop ""Meteorite Impacts in Precambrian Shields"" that took place in Lappajarvi, Finland, in 2000. The volume begins with a detailed view of thirty confirmed meteorite impact structures found in the Fennoscandian Shield and its nearest surroundings. The following papers describe impact structures in different areas.
