The icy outer shell of Jupiter's moon Europa is believed to be geologically active, and geological processes within the ice may be key to sustaining chemical disequilibria and …
Cassini revealed that Saturn's Moon Enceladus hosts a subsurface ocean that meets the accepted criteria for habitability with bio-essential elements and compounds, liquid water …
Gibbs energy representations for ices II, III, V, and VI are reported. These were constructed using new measurements of volumes at high pressure over a range of low temperatures …
Enceladus is the first world beyond Earth for which we have diagnostic observational data concerning the composition of an extant ocean. The abundances of chemical species in the …
