Regional variations in observed fracture abundance and associated predictions for smaller fractures on Europa with implications for regional plume origins
2023, Earth and Planetary Science LettersCitation Excerpt :The abundance of open or active fractures would affect bulk ice shell properties such as tensile strength, total porosity and permeability, influencing the distribution and abundance of associated surface structures or cryovolcanic activity (Schulson and Duval, 2009; Schultz et al., 2010a, 2010b). Detection of the source locations of active plumes is of particular astrobiological interest for future exploration missions (Howell and Pappalardo, 2020) because plumes expel material possibly originating from the sub-ice ocean (Hansen et al., 2011; Spencer et al., 2018), which is the most likely habitable zone of the icy moons of the solar system (McKay et al., 2014; Reynolds et al., 1987; Sephton et al., 2018). Possible plumes have been detected on Europa (Paganini et al., 2019; Roth et al., 2014), but precise source locations and pathways with related surface features have not yet been identified (Rathbun and Spencer, 2020).
