Abstract:The shallowest intracrustal layer (extending to 8 ± 2 km depth) beneath the Mars InSight Lander site exhibits low seismic wave velocity, which are likely related to a combination of high porosity and other lithological factors. The SsPp phase, an SV-to P-wave reflection on the receiver side, is naturally suited for constraining the seismic structure of this top crustal layer since its prominent signal makes it observable with a single station without the need for stacking. We have analyzed eight broadband and … Show more
