Synthetic geophysical observables from martian mantle convection models, with application to InSight

Kurzfassung

Fully dynamical convection models of the martian mantle coupled with a mineralogical model and a parameterized representation of a large meteorite impact are used to derive geophysical observables, in particular synthetic density/gravity, seismic velocities, electrical conductivity, and heat flow, which are of interest with respect to the ongoing InSight mission.
