Structure of the Martian Crust Below InSight From Surface Waves and Body Waves Generated by Nearby Meteoroid Impacts

Résumé

We measure group velocity dispersion of surface waves generated by two meteoroid impacts on Mars close to the lander of the InSight mission. This allows us to probe the crustal structure in the first few kilometers beneath the InSight lander. In combination with body wave arrival times from five impact events, we obtain direct seismic constraints on the seismic velocity of the crust in the vicinity of the InSight landing site. We confirm the existence of a uppermost low-velocity layer with a mean thickness of ∼1.2 km, interpreted as layered volcanic materials, possibly interstratified with sedimentary and altered materials. Our joint inversion of surface and body waves shows a four-layer model for the Martian crust, compatible with high- and low-frequency P-to-S receiver functions estimated in previous studies.
