How to infer ocean freezing rates on icy satellites from measurements of ice thickness
Nicole C. Shibley, Ching-Yao Lai, Riley Culberg
Liquid-water oceans likely underlie the ice shells of Europa and Enceladus, but ocean properties are challenging to measure due to the overlying ice. Here, we consider gravity-driv…
