We used comparisons of gravity and geoid with topography in the spatial and spectral domains, together with additional information from the geologic record, to constrain support mechanisms for loads on the surface of Mars and their implications for the planet's crustal and lithospheric properties and evolution.
We present an improved 360 degree and order spherical harmonic solution for Venus' topography. The new model uses the most recent set of Venus altimetry data with spacecraft positions derived from a recent high resolution gravity model.

We have used the newest solution for the Venus geopotential, incorporating tracking data from the circularized orbit of Magellan, along with global Venus topography data to study correlations of geoid and topography variations in several regions characteristic of the principal classes of highlands found on Venus.
We have used spherical harmonic models for Venus' global topography and graviy incorporating data from the Magellan mission to test isostatic compensation models in several equatorial highlands.
High resolution interpretations relating gravity and topography data for Venus should be restricted to the equatorial regions at this time.
