Elastic thickness evolution

North and South elastic thickness evolution (in meters) for the models that suitably fit the four constraints (elastic thickness evolution constraints and present-day volcanism in the Southern hemisphere).<br>Elastic thickness of the best model described in section 4.1 is given in files with 'BestModel'. Min and Max correspond to the extremum values observed among suitable models (Figure 5, shaded areas)<br>files with 1014 correspond to the elastic thickness evolution when considering a strain rate representative of the time scale of polar cap deposition : Figure 5bfiles with 1017 correspond to the elastic thickness evolution when considering a strain rate representative of the time scale of mantle convection : Figure 5a<br>data files give the estimations of martian elastic thicknesses made by previous studies, which are compiled in Figure 2b. Each line represent one estimation and gives in order: the elastic thickness estimation, the range (minimum and maximum values), the age of this elastic thickness, the range of this age (maximaum and minimum).
