Dr. Jiaqi Li, postdoc in our group, led a paper entitled “Crustal Structure Constraints From the Detection of the SsPp Phase on Mars” that was just accepted for publication in Earth and Space. Congratulations, Jiaqi! Stay tuned for the link when it becomes available! Li, J., Beghein, C., Davis, P., Wieczorek, M., McLennan, S., Kim, D., Lekic, …
The paper “Seismic detection of a deep mantle discontinuity within Mars by InSight” led by Quancheng Huang is out! Summary: The depth and sharpness of a midmantle seismic discontinuity, associated with the phase transition from mineral olivine to its higher-pressure polymorphs, provide essential clues to understanding the temperature and composition of Martian mantle. Using data …
