We have carried out 2-D numerical simulations using the discrete element method (DEM) to investigate density-driven deformation in Martian volcanic edifices and how it affects the development of caldera complexes. These ...

The evolution and source of the Texas Mud Blanket (300 km3) was determined from 26 new radiocarbon dates and from ∼3000 km of 2D seismic data. Sediment flux (km3/ka) was calculated from this combined dataset. XRD reveals ...

Mantle convection simulations with a low viscosity channel, akin to the Earth's asthenosphere, are characterized by long wavelength flow structure. Boundary layer theory predicts that as the viscosity of the channel ...
