We present a spatial analysis of free air gravity and topography for Mars using new, higher resolution gravity data and the latest digital elevation data, both represented by spherical harmonics up to degree and order 50 and, separately, for harmonic degrees 4--19. Interpreting the gravity vs gravity-from-topography scatter diagram in terms of isostatic compensation for small regions, we find that most of Mars older than Amazonian is fully compensated at shallow depths (300 km. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
