Self-Assembling Ice Membranes on Europa: Brinicle Properties, Field Examples, and Possible Energetic Systems in Icy Ocean Worlds
Steven D. Vance, Laura M. Barge, Silvana S. S. Cardoso +1
Brinicles are self-assembling tubular ice membrane structures, centimeters to meters in length, found beneath sea ice in the polar regions of Earth. We discuss how the properties o…
Geophysical tests for habitability in ice-covered ocean worlds
Steven D. Vance, Mark P. Panning, Simon Stähler +10
Geophysical measurements can reveal the structure of icy ocean worlds and cycling of volatiles. The associated density, temperature, sound speed, and electrical conductivity of suc…
A Passive Probe for Subsurface Oceans and Liquid Water in Jupiter's Icy Moons
Andrew Romero-Wolf, Steve Vance, Frank Maiwald +3
We describe an interferometric reflectometer method for passive detection of subsurface oceans and liquid water in Jovian icy moons using Jupiter's decametric radio emission (DAM).…
