History of science and technology in Mexico world. There are almost half a million (451,000) students enrolled in electronics engineering programs. There is coordinated push to turn transition Mexico into an innovation economy. Start up, business incubators like Technology Hub in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico have made their missions emboldening the entrepreneurial and start up climate in Mexico. The Chicxulub crater is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The crater was discovered by Antonio Camargo and Glen Penfield, geophysicists who had been looking for petroleum in the Yucatán during the late 1970s. The Alvarez hypothesis posits that the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and
Chesapeake Bay impact crater from oil exploration revealed the extent of the crater. The continual slumping of the rubble within the crater has affected the flow of the rivers and shaped the Chesapeake Bay. The impact crater created a long-lasting topographic depression which helped predetermine the course of local rivers and the eventual location of Chesapeake Bay. Most important for present-day inhabitants of the area, the impact disrupted aquifers. The present freshwater aquifers lie above a deep salty brine, remnants of 100–145 million year old Early Cretaceous North Atlantic seawater, making the entire lower Chesapeake Bay area susceptible to groundwater contamination. The crater is
