Description: This software estimates the depth to Moho and depth to the base of the lithosphere by means of fitting elevation and geoid anomaly data combined with thermal analysis.
It assumes local isostasy and a crustal density increasing linearly with depth between predefined values at surface and at the base of the crust. The density of the lithosphere mantle is considered to be temperature dependent. The geoid anomalies are calculated relative to a reference lithospheric column. This reference column serves to calibrate the zero level for the geoid anomalies, and must be selected in such a way that physically meaningful results are obtained in our lithospheric model.

This software was first edited in 2005 and updated in 2019.
