Te_HF_Conversion

Te_HF_Conversion is a simple code that allows to:

  1. Convert the elastic thickness of the lithosphere to planetary heat flow (and a yield strength envelope) given several input parameters including crustal thickness, strain rate, or radiogenic heating.

  2. Retrieve the elastic thickness (and a yield strength envelope) of the lithosphere based on a temperature profile.

The model makes use of the equating bending moment approach of McNutt (1984) and has been used in Broquet et al (2020).
