Title: Exploring Europa’s Ice Shell: Insights from Earth.

Abstract: Sea ice, grown from a freezing ocean, is a fundamental feature of Earth’s Arctic Ocean and may also exist on certain ice-covered moons in the Solar System. In both Earth and planetary systems, the ocean below the ice is critical for understanding ice thickness and dynamics. In this talk, I will describe how polar research may help us glean insight into icy satellites. We will focus on Europa, a moon of Jupiter, thought to have an ice shell overlying a global ocean. How does this ice shell grow and move? What can this tell us about the evolution of Europa and its ocean? We will discuss how idealized models of Europa’s ice shell, adapted from a consideration of Earth’s cryosphere, give us insight into this mysterious planetary body.
