Past studies of impact tectonics have focused on impact cratering and tectonic strains near the crater. Little is known about far-field body strains sustained by the host from the shock of impact or any related long-lasting, geodynamic processes and inherited tectonic structures. This site is being developed to help organize the existing knowledge base and delve into uncharted realms of impact tectonics. Many original illustrations and maps included in this site are noted using the impacttectonics.org icon
