Abstract
 Simulating North American Impact Cratering with ArcView and Excel Track: Teaching with GIS Author(s): Mark Blanchard Impact craters in North America from the ArcAtlas: Our Earth CD were statistically analyzed in order to build a model to randomly generate impact events and analyze their geographic distribution and environmental impact. Using the simulation modeling, random impact craters are generated in Excel and then displayed in ArcView. Statistical measures were then used to predict the incidence and severity of anticipated impact in North America from comets and asteroids.
