Metamorphism of Venus as driver of crustal thickness and recycling

Abstract The composition and thickness of the venusian crust and their dependence on thermal gradients and geodynamic setting are not well constrained. Here, we use metamorphic phase transitions and the onset of melting to determine the maximum crustal thickness of basaltic plains in different tecto...
