This is a lot of information. For this mapping I have selected thermal radiation, ejecta deposition, and air blasts to use as information for layering ontop of a topographic mesh model of the earth (seen below). To gather data I have located a program created by scientists at the University of Arizona. This is a web-based program that calculates the effects of an earth impact. The program can be located here. Using this program I will relate my chosen processes in terms of distance from a given location on the earth. Essentially mapping how the effects of a terrestrial impact diminish as distance from the point of origin is increased.

i'm glad you finally read the corner readings and happy to see the progress - it is a good start. seems like you should model other data and consider how animation will facilitate this study and what you hope it to reveal
it also seems like the impact effects calculator will be helpful in modeling more data based on information you generate from there. the historical data for:
Energy:
Atmospheric Entry:
Major Global Changes:
Air Blast
will be interesting to see and maybe some type of future condition can be interpolated.
