Funded Activity Summary

Structure of crust on Mars. This project aims to start a new multidisciplinary field linking impact physics and seismology. This project involves numerical modelling of meteoroid impact-induced seismic activity on Mars, using the state-of-the-art hydro-code, a national supercomputing facility, and knowledge built on the meteorite hunting by the Dessert Fireball Network. High-resolution numerical results will aid the analyses of impact-seismic data obtained by the forthcoming InSight mission to Mars (in 2018) with a single important aim, to decipher the crustal structure of Mars, the planet that is the most similar to the Earth in our solar system.
