Mars Seismology
With graduate student Haotian Xu, we have been working on testing the phase velocity inversion code we adapted to Mars using a blind dataset. Preliminary results were presented at the 2019 LPSC and SSA meetings and two papers have been submitted for publication.
C.B. is also co-author of two Nature Geoscience papers that were part of a series of manuscripts presenting the first InSight results. See Publications menu.
