Effects of deglaciation on glaciovolcanism on Mars: Exploring the origin of tuyas in the Martian South Polar Region

It has been shown that glacially induced decompression rates under Vatnajökull cause an increase in mantle melt and enhancement in volcanic activity. Eruptions under ice can form tuyas, that can be used to constrain past ice sheet thickness. Several mountains in the Martian South Polar Region qualify as tuyas, but their exact origin is still...
