Depth of faulting and ancient heat flows in the Kuiper region of Mercury from lobate scarp topography

▶ We model the topography of a group of lobate scarps in Mercury. ▶ Depths of faulting obtained through our models are between 30 and 39 km. ▶ Surface heat flows calculated from these depths of faulting are of 19-39 mW m−2. ▶ Our results are consistent with predictions of thermal history models in Mercury.
