Thickness and structure of the Martian crust from InSight seismic data

B Knapmeyer-Endrun, MP Panning, F Bissig, R Joshi… - Science, 2021 - science.org
A planet's crust bears witness to the history of planetary formation and evolution, but for
Mars, no absolute measurement of crustal thickness has been available. Here, we …

Upper mantle structure of Mars from InSight seismic data

A Khan, S Ceylan, M van Driel, D Giardini, P Lognonné… - Science, 2021 - science.org

The environmental effects of very large bolide impacts on early Mars explored with a hierarchy of numerical models

M Turbet, C Gillmann, F Forget, B Baudin, A Palumbo… - Icarus, 2020 - Elsevier
The origin of the presence of geological and mineralogical evidence that liquid water flowed
on the surface of early Mars is now a 50-year-old mystery. It has been proposed (Segura et …

Water storage capacity of the martian mantle through time

J Dong, RA Fischer, LP Stixrude, CR Lithgow-Bertelloni… - Icarus, 2022 - Elsevier
Water has been stored in the Martian mantle since its formation, primarily in nominally
anhydrous minerals. The short-lived early hydrosphere and intermittently flowing water on …

Impact melting upon basin formation on early Mars

L Manske, S Marchi, AC Plesa, K Wünnemann - Icarus, 2021 - Elsevier
The early bombardment history of Mars may have drastically shaped its crustal evolution.
