Two independent sets of heat flow estimates provide constraints on the Hesperian-era surface and mantle heat flows, and the thickness of the heat-producing elements (HPE)-enriched upper crust, in the Solis Planum region of Mars. The calculations[...]texto impreso
Surface heat flows are calculated from elastic lithosphere thicknesses for the heavy cratered highlands of Mars, in terms of the fraction of the surface heat flow derived from crustal heat sources. Previous heat flow estimations for Mars used li[...]texto impreso
Ruiz Pérez, Javier ; McGovern, Patrick ; Jiménez Díaz, Alberto ; López, Valle ; Williams, Jean-Pierre ; Hahn, Brian C. ; Tejero López, Rosa | Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam | 2011Lithospheric strength can be used to estimate the heat flow at the time when a given region was deformed, allowing us to constrain the thermal evolution of a planetary body. In this sense, the high (> 300 km) effective elastic thickness of the l[...]
