ArcCRUST: Arctic Crustal Thickness From 3-D Gravity Inversion
The ArcCRUST model consists of crustal thickness and estimated crustal thinning factors grids for the High Arctic and Circum-Arctic regions (north of 67°N). This model is derived by using 3-D forward and inverse gravity modeling. Updated sedimentary thickness grid, an oceanic lithosphere age model t...

The ArcCRUST model consists of crustal thickness and estimated crustal thinning factors grids for the High Arctic and Circum-Arctic regions (north of 67°N).

We use published high-quality 2-D seismic crustal-scale models to create a database of Depths to Seismic Moho (DSM) profiles. To check the quality of the ArcCRUST model, we have performed a statistical analysis of misfits between the ArcCRUST Moho depths and DSM values.
