.

The Karla crater, one of the about 150 large impact structures on Earth, is situated near the border of the Republic of Tatarstan and Chuvash Republic, about 163 kilometers from Kazan Federal University.

Previous research there took place in the 1980s. This time, Russian and French scientists conducted new inquiries.

"During our field research near Buinsk, Tatarstan, the impact nature of the Karla structure was confirmed. A number of paleomagnetic, petromagnetic and geochemical samples were collected," said project leader Natalia Bezaeva (invited employee of Kazan Federal University).

Junior Research Associate Dilyara Kuzina added, "The project as a whole is dedicated to studying magnetic properties of space objects, such as craters and tektites."

AIDA collaboration highlights case for planetary defense
Geneva, Switzerland (SPX) Sep 19, 2019
Surprising results from recent asteroid missions have highlighted the importance of testing planetary defence strategies in space, according to scientists participating in the joint ESA/NASA Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) collaboration. The unexpectedly large crater on asteroid Ryugu created by the JAXA Hayabysa2 impactor, together with the sand-like behaviour of material on its surface, further motivate the need to determine the effectiveness of proposed deflection techniques for an a ... read more
