[About the #Martian mantle ...] In a recent study, Ludovic Margerin, a CNRS researcher at IRAP, challenges the findings of a study published last year based on the analysis of data collected by the #SEIS seismometer aboard NASA’s #InSight lander.

According to this new study, the analysis of InSight’s seismological data—which concludes that the Martian mantle is highly #heterogeneous—may contain #observational and theoretical flaws: https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2026/04/the-heterogeneity-of-the-martian-mantle-is-being-questioned/
