Calculated thermal structure of the lithosphere at Pavonis Mons, Alba Patera, and NE Arabia Terra. The present-day thermal structure was calculated using radioactive element concentrations inferred from gamma-ray spectrometry and crustal thickness. Geotherms during the formation of each region were estimated using the half-lives of radioactive elements. The present day and 4.1Â Ga geotherms of Nimmo and Tanaka (2005) are shown for reference
