Terrestrial impact structures as geoheritage: an assessment method of their scientific value and its application to Brazil.

abstract：:Programs of Science and Technology research have grown significantly in Brazil over the last decades. Until the 1980s the so-called undirected programs, without specific goals and requiring only scientific merit, prevailed. The few programs with defined goals in this period were never objectively assessed. The same si...
