The Gravitational Signature of Martian Volcanoes

The Gravitational Signature of Martian Volcanoes

By modeling the elastic flexure of the Martian lithosphere under imposed loads, we provide a systematic study of the old and low‐relief volcanoes (>3.2 Ga, 0.5 to 7.4 km) and the younger and larger prominent constructs within the Tharsis and Elysium provinces (3.2 Ga, 0.5 to 7.4 km) and the young...
