A heterogeneous lithosphere on Venus
I. Romeo, A. Jimenez Diaz, M. Mendiburu Elicabe +6
Venus is 95% the size of Earth and probably has a similar composition and internal energy, but the geodynamical mechanism governing its internal thermal evolution remains controver…

Heat loss and internal dynamics of Venus from lithosphere strength
Javier Ruiz, Alberto Jiménez-Díaz, Isabel Egea-González +3
The absence of plate tectonics and the young surface age (0.3-1 billion years) of Venus have led to diverse geodynamic models for Venus. The energetics of the Venusian interior dri…
