Isostasy with Love: II Airy compensation arising from viscoelastic relaxation
Mikael Beuthe
In modern geodynamics, isostasy can be viewed either as the static equilibrium of the crust that minimizes deviatoric stresses, or as a dynamic process resulting from the viscous r…
Mercury's crustal thickness correlates with lateral variations in mantle melt production
Mikael Beuthe, Bernard Charlier, Olivier Namur +2
Mercury's crust has a complex structure resulting from a billion years of volcanism. The surface variations in chemical composition have been identified from orbit by the spacecraf…
Comment on `Heating of Enceladus due to the dissipation of ocean tides' by R. Tyler
Mikael Beuthe
Dissipation of ocean potential energy is proposed by Tyler (2020) as a new mechanism leading to possible high-power states for Enceladus. I show here that this process actually res…
Isostasy with Love: I Elastic equilibrium
Mikael Beuthe
Isostasy explains why observed gravity anomalies are generally much weaker than what is expected from topography alone, and why planetary crusts can support high topography without…
Enceladus's crust as a non-uniform thin shell: II tidal dissipation
Mikael Beuthe
Tidal heating is the prime suspect behind Enceladus's south polar heating anomaly and global subsurface ocean. No model of internal tidal dissipation, however, can explain at the s…
Ocean tidal heating in icy satellites with solid shells
Isamu Matsuyama, Mikael Beuthe, Hamish C. F. C. Hay +2
As a long-term energy source, tidal heating in subsurface oceans of icy satellites can influence their thermal, rotational, and orbital evolution, and the sustainability of oceans.…
