Tectonic Processes on Europa: Tidal Stresses, Mechanical Response, and Visible Features
- R. Greenberg, P. Geissler, M. Carr
- Physics
- 1 September 1998
Abstract Europa's orbital eccentricity, driven by the resonance with Io and Ganymede, results in “diurnal” tides (3.5-day period) and possibly in nonsynchronous rotation. Both diurnal variation and…

Evaluation of models for the formation of chaotic terrain on Europa
- G. Collins, J. Head, R. Pappalardo, N. Spaun
- Environmental Science
- 25 January 2000
Chaotic terrain on Europa is interpreted to be the result of the breakup of brittle surface materials over a mobile substrate. Two end-member models have been proposed for the mobile substrate: a…
Does Europa have a subsurface ocean? Evaluation of the geological evidence
- R. Pappalardo, M. Belton, K. Williams
- Geology
- 25 October 1999
It has been proposed that Jupiter's satellite Europa currently possesses a global subsurface ocean of liquid water. Galileo gravity data verify that the satellite is differentiated into an outer H2O…
Ocean worlds in the outer solar system
- F. Nimmo, R. Pappalardo
- Geology
- 1 August 2016
Many outer solar system bodies are thought to harbor liquid water oceans beneath their ice shells. This article first reviews how such oceans are detected. We then discuss how they are maintained,…
