Mars Seismology
- The first InSight results were presented in a series of papers published in Nature Geoscience. Our group co-authored two of them. See Publications.
- Measuring higher mode phase velocities with one seismic station on Mars: technique and blind test (work led by Haotian Xu)
- First surface wave detection!
- Crustal Seismic Anisotropy Under the Lander (work led by Jiaqi Li)
- Seismic detection of a deep mantle discontinuity within Mars by InSight
-
Second Seismic Anchor Point of the Martian Crustal Structure Away from the InSight Landing Site (work led by Jiaqi Li)
- Seismic Anisotropy Away from the Lander
- Crustal Structure Constraints from the Detection of the SsPp Phase on Mars
- New Constraints on the Martian Crustal Structure Near the Dichotomy
- First observations of seismic waves traveling through the Martian core
- Moment Tensor Determination of Event S1222a
- Detection and Measurements of Higher Modes – paper under review
More updates coming soon!
