The Mars Crater Consortium (MCC) was founded in 1997 when David Roddy, Joseph Boyce, and Nadine Barlow began discussing the potential value of combining all the Martian impact crater datasets which had been compiled from Viking data. Investigators interested in Martian impact craters from observational, experimental, and theoretical perspectives were invited to attend the first MCC meeting at the US Geological Survey in Flagstaff in 1998. The Consortium membership continues to grow as new crater data are obtained from Mars spacecraft and theoretical/experimental advances are made in understanding the processes involved in Martian crater formation.
