- Descr: It was recently discovered that a meteor impact crater exists
beneath Chesapeake Bay, VA. Shipborne seismic imaging shows a clear
impact structure, but its extent on land is not known. High-Res seismic
imaging will attempt to define its landward dimensions and a continuous
core borehole will be placed in the impact structure.
