Studies of lava flows on Mars must still rely largely on imaging data obtained by the Viking mission. Therefore, flow morphology remains the prime data from which effusion and magma characteristics must be inferred. This study uses three complementary lava flow models to infer emplacement characteristics of several of martian flows. We have previously used these models to study some of Alba Patera's younger flows. Here we extend the scope of the work by analysing flows from the Elysium Planitia and further examining the sources of uncertainties in the models, including the effect of flow margin erosion. We will discuss how the models can be used together as a powerful analysis tool for extra-terrestrial lavas in general.
