| description | This thesis explores the first results from the Desert Fireball Network, a distributed global observatory designed to characterise fireballs caused by meteoroid impacts. To deal with the >50 terabytes of data influx per week, innovative data reduction techniques have been developed. The science topics investigated in this work include airbursts caused by large meteoroids impacting the Earth's atmosphere, the recovery of a meteorite and its orbital history, and the structure of a meteor shower. |
