Reasenberg, R.D. and Bills, B.G. (1983). Critique of ‘‘elastic thickness of the Venus lithosphere estimated from topography and gravity’’ by A. Cazenave and K. Dominh. Geophysical Research Letters 10: doi: 10.1029/GL010i001p00093. issn: 0094-8276.

Cazenave and Dominh compare the topography in a portion of the rolling plains province of Venus with a measure of the corresponding gravity perturbation, the residual acceleration of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. They ignore substantial geometric factors and make unsubstantiated geophysical assumptions to draw conclusions which we consider logically invalid and numerically implausible.
