Catherine Ross’ project: Testing the Reliability of Zircon (U-Th)/He Impact Crater Thermochronometry its to determine several factors which affect Zircon for the sake of determining of dates of impacts more reliably.

Stamatios Xydous’ project: Chemical and spectroscopic characterization of shock metamorphism features in a suite of shocked ordinary chondrite meteorites with implications on the dynamic of impacts among asteroids aims to explore how the meteorites were affected after formation.

Raiza Quintero’s research project- The Ilkurlka magnetic ring anomaly: a new Australian impact structure? - is also much like our founder, D.M. Barringer’s pursuit, to determine and confirm the buried Ilkurlka structure in Australia is an impact structure!
