The 12 pages that link to Luis Alvarez, each with the reason it gives.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction eventRelated: His expertise helped interpret the iridium layer as evidence of extraterrestrial material.

• Chicxulub craterRelated: He co-proposed that an asteroid impact caused the boundary iridium anomaly and extinction.

• K–Pg boundaryRelated: His expertise helped interpret the boundary’s iridium as evidence of an impactor.

• Iridium anomalyRelated: His expertise helped interpret the iridium concentration as evidence of an extraterrestrial source.

• Walter AlvarezRelated: His suggestion to test iridium in the boundary clay launched the collaboration with his son.

• Chicxulub impactorRelated: His impact hypothesis connected the boundary’s iridium enrichment to a cosmic collision.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene boundaryRelated: His impact hypothesis grew from the iridium measurements at boundary sites.

• IridiumRelated: The impact hypothesis drew on elevated iridium measured in boundary-layer sediments.

• Chicxulub impactRelated: His team connected the boundary’s iridium enrichment to an extraterrestrial impact.
