ICDP-USGS Workshop on Deep Drilling in the Central Crater of the Chesapeake Bay Impact Structure, Virginia, USA: Proceedings Volume (USGS Open-File Report 2004-1016)

The workshop proceedings focus on the collaborative efforts surrounding deep drilling in the Central Crater of the Chesapeake Bay Impact Structure. Organized by scientists from the USGS and ICDP, this gathering aimed to advance understanding of the geological formations resulting from one of the largest impacts in North America. The discussions highlight the importance of using deep drilling techniques to uncover details about the Earth's history and the implications of impact events on regional geology.

Published by the USGS, this volume presents insights gathered from expert presentations, discussions, and research findings shared during the workshop. Participants explored various scientific questions related to the Chesapeake Bay structure, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the complexities of large impact sites. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers interested in planetary geology, impact processes, and the broader significance of impact structures on Earth's evolution.
