A set of 50,000 artificial Earth impacting asteroids was used to obtain, for the first time,
information about the dominance of individual impact effects such as wind blast …

Risk assessment studies of local asteroid hazards traditionally simulate the physics of

The 'tragedy of the commons' is a classic type of problem, involving multiple actors who face
individual incentives to deplete shared resources and thereby impose harms on others …

Asteroids and comets 10–100 m in size that collide with Earth disrupt dramatically in the
