  abstract = {{C}onstraining the timing of the emplacement of the volcano-tectonic province of {T}harsis is critical to understanding the evolution of mantle, surface environment and climate of {M}ars. {T}he growth of {T}harsis had exerted stresses on the lithosphere, which were responsible for tectonic deformation, previously mapped as radial or concentric faults. {I}nsights into the emplacement history of {T}harsis may be gained from an analysis of the characteristics and ages of these tectonic features. {T}he number, total length, linear density of extensional or compressional faults in the {T}harsis region and deformation rates are reported for each of the following 6 stages: {E}arly and {M}iddle {N}oachian (stage 1); {L}ate {N}oachian (stage 2); {E}arly {H}esperian (stage 3); {L}ate {H}esperian (stage 4), {E}arly {A}mazonian (stage 5) and {M}iddle {A}mazonian to {L}ate {A}mazonian (stage 6). 8571 {T}harsis-related tectonic features (radial or concentric to the center of {T}harsis) were assigned to one of these periods of time based on their relationship with stratigraphic units defined in the most recent geological map. {I}ntense faulting at {T}empe {T}erra, {C}laritas and {C}oracis {F}ossae and {T}haumasia {P}lanum confirms that tectonic deformation started during the {N}oachian. {H}owever, we report a peak in both compressive and extensive rates of deformation during the {E}arly {H}esperian whereas the quantitative indicators for compressional and extensional tectonics vary within less than one order of magnitude from the late {N}oachian to the {L}ate {H}esperian. {T}hese observations indicate a protracted growth of {T}harsis during the first quarter of {M}ars evolution and declining from 3 {G}yrs ago.},
