Planet Earth is part of our Galactic environment, not just the
product of it, and it is still today influenced by phenomena
related to Galactic forces. Specifically, our planet is affected by
its near environment, in particular the small bodies in the Solar
System. This book reviews the processes which cause the collisions
of these small bodies with the Earth as well as the consequences of
such collisions. The various articles take the reader through the
Galaxy-Solar System connection to the orbital dynamics of the small
bodies and to their number and distribution in near-Earth space.
The hazards of the impacts of small bodies on Earth are evaluated,
and the geophysical records of such impacts are discussed. The book
takes the reader to the forefront of research on both impact
cratering and the origin and evolution of small bodies in the Solar
System. Thus it brings together two subjects, geophysics and
astronomy, which are usually discussed in separate volumes but are
closely knit together in this particular area of research.
