Abstract

NASA’s InSight mission has brought new information about the Martian lithosphere (Banerdt et al. 2020), which warrants a re-analysis of the support of the crustal and sub-crustal masses. Furthermore, the discovery of a possible mantle plume underneath the region south of Elysium Mons (Broquet et al. 2023), gives evidence for recent magmatic activity underneath the crust of Mars causing dynamic support to volcanic structures.
