Pmelts Modeling of the Elysium Volcanic Province

Vaucher et al. constrained the most recent volcanism in the Central Elysium Planitia south of Elysium Mons to as young as ~2 Ma, superseded by the uncovering from Horvath et al. that the Cerberus Fossae mantling unit in the southern Elysium Planitia may be the youngest volcanic deposit on Mars at a modeled age of 53 to 210 ka. Recent discovery proposed that the Elysium Volcanic Province (EVP) is sitting on top of a ~4,000 km active plume head. Following pilot work using pMELTS to model magmatic processes, this work explores the use of pMELTS in younger volcanic regions and regions with a preponderance of sulfur.
