    An estimate of the impact rate on Mars from statistics of very-high-frequency marsquakes

    The number density of impact craters on a planetary surface is used to determine its age, which requires a model for the production rate of craters of different sizes. On Mars, however, estimates of the produc...

    Constraints on the martian crust away from the InSight landing site

    The most distant marsquake recorded so far by the InSight seismometer occurred at an epicentral distance of 146.3 ± 6.9o, close to the western end of Valles Marineris. On the seismogram of this event, we have ide...

    Tectonics of Cerberus Fossae unveiled by marsquakes

    The InSight mission has measured the seismicity of Mars since February 2019 and has enabled the investigation of tectonics on the surface of another planet for the first time. Its dataset shows that most of th...

    Newly formed craters on Mars located using seismic and acoustic wave data from InSight

    Meteoroid impacts shape planetary surfaces by forming new craters and alter atmospheric composition. During atmospheric entry and impact on the ground, meteoroids excite transient acoustic and seismic waves. H...

    Towards probing Earth’s upper mantle with daily magnetic field variations: exploring a physics-based parametrization of the source

    The electromagnetic (EM) field variations capable of probing the electrical conductivity of the upper mantle and mantle transition zone have a period range between a few hours and 1 day. At these periods, the ...
