Workshop on the Early Solar System Impact Bombardment 2

The workshop will provide an opportunity to integrate several diverse components of the topic, including an assessment of the geologic record of impact cratering throughout the solar system, cosmochemical constraints on any early bombardment, and dynamic models that might explain the flux of debris and potential changes in the flux of debris. The goal is to investigate the range of collisional events from the era of planetary accretion to the end of the basin-forming epoch.National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Universities Space Research Association, Lunar and Planetary Institute, NASA Lunar Science Instituteconveners David A.
