Different ice shell geometries on Europa and Enceladus due to their different sizes: impacts of ocean heat transport
Wanying Kang
On icy worlds, the ice shell and subsurface ocean form a coupled system -- heat and salinity flux from the ice shell induced by the ice thickness gradient drives circulation in the…
Energetic constraints on ocean circulations of icy ocean worlds
Malte F. Jansen, Wanying Kang, Edwin Kite +1
Globally ice-covered oceans have been found on multiple moons in the solar system and may also have been a feature of Earth's past. However, relatively little is understood about t…
Dynamics or Geysers and tracer transport over the south pole of Enceladus
Wanying Kang, John Marshall, Tushar Mittal +1
Over the south pole of Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, geysers eject water into space in a striped pattern, making Enceladus one of the most attractive destinations in the search…
In icy ocean worlds, size matters!
Wanying Kang, Malte Jansen
The ice shell and subsurface ocean on icy worlds are strongly coupled together -- heat and salinity flux from the ice shell induced by the ice thickness gradient drives circulation…
The role of ocean circulation in driving hemispheric symmetry breaking of the ice shell of Enceladus
Wanying Kang, Suyash Bire, John Marshall
The ice shell of Enceladus exhibits strong asymmetry between its hemispheres, with all known geysers concentrated over the south pole, even though its orbital configuration is almo…
