| Scope |
On 15 February 2013, an asteroid of about 17 m in
diameter entered the Earth's atmosphere and exploded
above Chelyabinsk Oblast, the southern Ural region in
Russia. Shock wave hit the ground, and about 1,500
people were injured. In this session, we call for papers
on the studies of this event, such as observation, data
analysis, and numerical simulation, as well as general
reviews of asteroid impact to the Earth, its
probability, and consequence.
