NIR session in connection with

The 29th Nordic Geological Wintermeeting, Oslo, January 2010

 

The session on Impact Craters was dedicated to Maurits Lindström (age 77), who passed away in November 2009. The Nordic "impact crater community" will remember Maurits and his work on impact cratering and craters.
