Laramie Potts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laramie Potts is an American scientist at the Ohio State University who identified the Wilkes Land crater with Ralph von Frese.
Potts is a Post Doctoral Researcher in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science.
He and von Frese used gravity measurements by NASA's GRACE satellites to identify a 200 mile (300 km) wide mass concentration. This mass anomaly is centered within a larger ring-like structure visible in radar images of the land surface beneath the Antarctic ice cap. This combination suggests that it is the result of a large impact event.[1]
