Geological investigations planned for the Europa Clipper mission will examine the
formation, evolution, and expression of geomorphic structures found on the surface …

Strike–slip faults are often accompanied by a variety of structures, particularly at their tips.
The zones of additional fracturing are classified as tip‐damage zones. These zones can be …

The strike-slip fault systems in the central Tarim Basin, China, afford an exceptional
opportunity to document the structural characteristics and evolution process of small …

Jupiter's icy moon Europa has one of the youngest planetary surfaces in the Solar System,
implying rapid recycling by some mechanism. Despite ubiquitous extension and creation of …

New measurements have been made of the friction coefficient of freshwater polycrystalline
ice sliding slowly (5× 10− 8 to 1× 10− 3 ms− 1) upon itself at temperatures from 98 to 263 K …

Europa has experienced significant tectonic disruption over its visible history. The
description, interpretation, and modeling of tectonic features imaged by the Voyager and …

Tectonic features on the satellites of the outer planets range from the familiar, such as clearly
recognizable graben on many satellites, to the bizarre, such as the ubiquitous double ridges …

A nearly pole‐to‐pole survey near 140° E longitude on Europa revealed many areas that
exhibit past lateral surface motions, and these areas were examined to determine whether …

Straddling the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus, the four principal “tiger stripe”
fractures are a likely source of tectonic activity and plume generation. Here we investigate …

Inherited crustal weaknesses have long been recognized as important factors in strain
localization and basin development in the East African Rift System (EARS). However, the …
