“…Craters with more than one fluidized layer of ejecta are typically thought to originate from a multi-layered target, as a result of a gradient in volatile content and/or particle size distribution (Boyce and Mouginis-Mark, 2006;Horner and Greeley, 1981;Stewart and Valiant, 2006;Weiss and Head, 2013;Wulf et al, 2013). Both impact modelling (Collins et al, 2002;Senft and Stewart, 2008) and observations of terrestrial craters (Osinski et al, 2011) demonstrate that variations in target stratigraphy result in significant and measureable effects on the resulting final crater, particularly in the maximum runout distance of ejecta, the topographic profile of the ejecta blanket, the crater depth, and the size of the central uplift.…”
