| Description | Working files relating to the published paper: McKenzie, D & F Nimmo "Elastic thickness estimates for Venus from line of sight accelerations", 'Icarus', vol 130 (1997), pp198-216. File 1 also contains the admittance output calculations for Venus which correlate with LDGSL/1107/B/9/3 for the paper: McKenzie, D, "The relationship between topography and gravity on Earth and Venus", 'Icarus', vol 112 (1994), pp55-88. File 2 contains material relating to the papers: Barnett, D and F Nimmo & D McKenzie, "Flexure of venusian lithosphere measured from residual topography and gravity", 'Journal of Geophysical Research', vol 107 (2002), E2:1-21; Nimmo, F & D McKenzie, "Modelling plume-related uplift and melting on Venus", 'Earth and Planetary Science Letters', vol 145 (1997), pp109-123.
File 1, entitled 'Admittance etc. output Venus 29/1/94-', comprising: computer generated data sets and plots calculating the admittance of Venus, January-February 1994, and at the front of the file are a later batch of the same with the addition of contour charts of Venus, June 1994-September 1995; agenda for the RADIG meeting to be held in August 1994.
File 2 (split into two folders), entitled 'Venus 6/5/95 (3)', comprising: copies of academic papers by others on related subjects, 1980-1998; correspondence concerning the refereeing, proofing and publication process for the papers "Elastic thickness estimates for Venus from line of sight accelerations", "Flexure of venusian lithosphere measured from residual topography and gravity" and "Modelling plume-related uplift and melting on Venus", September 1995-October 2001, including referee reports; computer generated data sets, plots and charts, 1995-1999; correspondence with fellow academics and scientists generally on the subject of McKenzie's research and sharing data, July 1996-April 1999; manuscript notes and plots, 1996-1997; abstracts book and delegate list for the Chapman Conference 'Geodynamics of Venus: Evolution and Current State', held at Snowmass, Aspen, Colorado, 4-6 September 1997, during which McKenzie and Francis Nimmo presented a paper on "The Mechanical Properties of the Venusian Mantle"; typescript document, "Notes on Magellan altimetry checking programs" by Christopher Lester, 25 July 1997, with manuscript notes by McKenzie, 26 September 1997; printed email correspondence concerning a draft proposal by Gian Gabriele Ori, Dipartimento di Scienze, Universita d'Annuzio, Pescara, Italy, for a joint project with McKenzie and others on the "Dynamic of Mars", January 1997. |
