Effect of a Surficial Porous Brittle Layer on the Dynamics and Equilibrium Thickness of Europa’s Ice Shell

Tectonic and cryovolcanic features on Europa suggest a dynamically active ice shell with a highly deformable near-surface brittle layer. Shell thickness estimates based on geological interpretation and thermal modeling vary from 10 km to more than 30 km. The surface activity is probably caused by Ju...
