Other models that don’t provide gridded results:

Chaput et al. 2014 Ramirez et al. 2017 Chisenga et al. 2019

version=’shen-2018’ Crustal thickness (excluding ice layer) from Shen et al.[1]. Accessed from https://sites.google.com/view/weisen/research-products?authuser=0

version=’an-2015’ This is the bedrock topography from Bedmap2 minus the Moho elevations from fetch.moho(version=’an-2015) (relative to sea level).

version=”an-2015-points” Point measurements of crustal thickness used to create the An-2015 model.

version=’baranov-2021’ Crustal thickness from and . Individual depths from seismic points were interpolated at 1 degree resolution using a kriging algorithm. Here, we reproject to Polar Stereographic and grid at 50km spacing. Accessed from https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/j58mf2wm9b/1

version=’li-2023’ Crustal thickness and uncertainties from and . Accessed from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10242299

version=’ji-2022’ Crustal thickness from . Accessed from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.19947779.v2

Parameters:

  • version (str) – Either ‘shen-2018’, ‘an-2015’, ‘an-2015-points’, ‘baranov-2021’, ‘li-2023’, or ‘ji-2022’.

  • region (tuple[float, float, float, float] | None) – region to clip the loaded grid to, in format [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax], by default doesn’t clip

  • spacing (float | None) – grid spacing to resample the loaded grid to, by default spacing is read from downloaded files

  • registration (str | None) – change registration with either ‘p’ for pixel or ‘g’ for gridline registration, by default is None.

  • **kwargs (Any) – additional keyword arguments to pass to the resample_grid function

Returns:

Returns a loaded, and optionally clip/resampled grid of crustal thickness, or a DataFrame of point measurements.

Return type:

DataArray | DataFrame | None
