A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath
their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water makes these ocean worlds …

Thwaites Glacier represents 15% of the ice discharge from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and
influences a wider catchment,–. Because it is grounded below sea level,, Thwaites Glacier is …

This paper reviews the scientific motivation and challenges, development, and use of
underwater robotic vehicles designed for use in ice-covered waters, with special attention …

Ice streams flowing into Ross Ice Shelf are presently responsible for around 10% of the
mass flux from West Antarctica, with the noteworthy exception of Kamb Ice Stream, which …

Basal melt of ice shelves is not only an important part of Antarctica's ice sheet mass budget,
but it is also the origin of platelet ice, one of the most distinctive types of sea ice. In many …

In this chapter, the key technologies and the instrumentation required for the subsurface
exploration of ocean worlds are discussed. The focus is laid on Jupiter's moon Europa and …

We explore the major characteristics of habitable environments on ocean worlds and how
we can study them using Earth analogs and autonomous instrumentation. Earth analogs for …
