Short summary
Gravity aspects are applied to the well-known impact craters Popigai and Chicxulub. Findings about them from 2010 are confirmed and extended with better data and a more advanced method. Both craters are double or multiple craters. Both crater formations seem to be associated with impact-induced tectonics that triggered the development of impact grabens.
Gravity aspects are applied to the well-known impact craters Popigai and Chicxulub. Findings...
