NSF and NASA funded this work. Collaborators included Stuart Wells and Orlando Hernandez, graduate students in geological sciences at Ohio State; Luis Gaya-Piqué and Hyung Rae Kim, both of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center; Alexander Golynsky of the All-Russia Research Institute for Geology and Mineral Resources of the World Ocean; and Jeong Woo Kim and Jong Sun Hwang, both of Sejong University in Korea.
Let’s just say it has an impact on my writing for young readers (Collision Course! Cosmic Impacts and Life on Earth, 2001) and a recent review I wrote about Extinction: How Life on Earth Nearly Ended 250 Million Years Ago by Douglas H. Erwin.
Very interesting! Thanks for posting that information!
