In the frame of the UPWARDS project, researchers of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM, Spain) have developed crustal thickness (CT), crustal heat flow (CHF) and surface heat flow (SHF) models for Mars at different ages (present-day, 1.5 Gyr, 3.0 Gyr, 3.5 Gyr), which are freely available for science and education.

This work has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme (H2020-Compet-08-2014) under grant agreement UPWARDS-633127.
