Modelling the Present Global Terrestrial Climatic Response Due to a Chicxulub-Type Asteroid Impact
A Chicxulub-like asteroid event occurs, on average, approximately every ~27 to 200 million years. Therefore, such an event could happen presently. Here, we simulate the climatic anomalies it may cause with respect to the current conditions, assuming the same target geology of carbonates and evaporat...
