Impact cratering is an important process in the Solar System, ever since the accretion of planets until being a factor for the evolution of life and threat to human civilization. I focus on impacts where volatiles (e.g., water) form part of the target, which may indicate potential life habitats. My work is based on a combination of remote sensing, fieldwork at analogue sites, and laboratory experiments in my especially designed laboratory for simulations of impacts into marine targets.
