This database contains information on confirmed impact structures around the world. A series of interactive maps, one for each continent, shows the locations of impact structures. Users can roll their mouse over the locations to see structure names and click on them to access physical information such as location (latitude and longitude), diameter, age, maps, photos, cross-sections (where available), and a list of references. The database can also be sorted by age, diameter, or name. There is also a list of the principal criteria for determining if a geological feature is an impact structure, an essay on impact cratering on Earth, and a frequently-asked-questions page.
