Thickness and structure of the martian crust from InSight seismic data

Brigitte Knapmeyer-Endrun et al.

Summary: The study analyzed marsquake recordings and ambient wavefields to determine the crustal structure beneath the InSight landing site on Mars. The average thickness of the Martian crust was found to be between 24 and 72 kilometers, with thicker models consistent with observed heat-producing elements at the shallow surface and thinner models requiring greater concentration at depth.
