Independent Research On-Site

The Barringer Crater Company believes that ongoing research of impact cratering processes and associated phenomena is critically important to growing and sharing scientific knowledge and public understanding of meteoritics and planetary science, specifically impact cratering and its enormous effects on planetary bodies. We are committed, therefore, to providing appropriate and responsible access to The Barringer Meteorite Crater and its surrounding ejecta blanket and terrain, approximately defined by the area of the crater and its immediate surroundings, for such study. To submit a research request, please review our Field Research Guidelines and then submit a summary of your proposed research at the form below.

Once research has been approved, a password will be provided which allows access to our Liability Waiver and Rim Trail Map.
