Description

Moho model (Greenland_Moho.dat) based on the publication: Steffen, R., Strykowski, G., Lund, B. (2017): High-resolution Moho model for Greenland from EIGEN-6C4 gravity data. Tectonophysics, 706-707, 206-220, doi:10.1016/j.tecto.2017.04.014.

 

Effective elastic thickness (Te) model (Greenland_Te.dat) based on the publication: Steffen, R., Audet, P., Lund, B. (2018): Weakened lithosphere beneath Greenland inferred from effective elastic thickness: A hotspot effect? Geophysical Research Letters 45, 4733-4742, doi:10.1029/2017GL076885.

 

Both models are provided as dat (lon, lat, depth) and figure (png) files. The dat files contain the values of Moho/Te at each longitude and latitude point. A header is provided. The Te file contains the uncertainty in the fourth column.
