Entrainment and dynamics of ocean‐derived impurities within Europa's ice shell
Compositional heterogeneities within Europa's ice shell likely impact the dynamics and
habitability of the ice and subsurface ocean, but the total inventory and distribution of …

Dynamics of a solidifying icy satellite shell
Ocean worlds have been identified as high‐priority astrobiology targets due to the link
between life and liquid water. Young surface terrain on many icy bodies indicates that they …

The bioburden and ionic composition of hypersaline lake ices: novel habitats on earth and their astrobiological implications
We present thermophysical, biological, and chemical observations of ice and brine samples
from five compositionally diverse hypersaline lakes in British Columbia's interior plateau …

Geometry of freezing impacts ice composition: Implications for icy satellites
Non‐ice impurities within the ice shells of ocean worlds (eg, Europa, Enceladus, Titan,
Ganymede) are believed to play a fundamental role in their geophysics and habitability and …
