Hamp R. E.* Siggs D. Batty C. Schwenzer S. P. Olsson-Francis K. et al.
Simulating Water-Rock Reactions on the Ocean Floor of Enceladus [#1074]
We have used a novel Enceladus simulant and an ocean fluid to experimentally simulate the water-rock interactions occurring on the ocean floor of Enceladus.
2:40 PM
Spiers E. M.* Schmidt B. E.
Quantifying Oxidant Delivery to Europa’s Ocean via Basal Melt [#2987]
Oxidants from top / Exit the ice through melting / Quantified with heat.
2:50 PM
Hayes T. W.* Li S.
The Anomalous Dichotomy in the 1.65 μm Water Ice Feature Between Europa’s Leading and Trailing Hemispheres [#1901]
We explore the anomalous strength and distribution of the 1.65-μm water ice feature in Europa NIMS data using Hapke intimate mixture modeling.
3:00 PM
Panel Q&A
3:20 PM
Journaux B.* Pakhomova A. Collings I.  E. Petitgirard S. Boffa Balaran T. et al.
Sodium Chloride Hyrates with High Hydration Numbers, Stable at Icy Ocean World Surface and Interior Conditions [#2839]
Table salt at low T / Water gathered around it / Hides on moon surfaces.
3:30 PM
Lesage E.* Howell S. M. Naseem M. Miller J. W. Villette J. et al.
Chemical Composition of Erupted Brines on Europa [#1864]
We numerically model the coupled chemical evolution and pressurization of freezing brines in Europa’s ice shell to predict the composition of erupted cryolava.
3:40 PM
Fifer L. M.* Toner J. D. Catling D. C.
Gas Loss from Enceladus' Ocean Due to Long-Term Plume Eruption [#1740]
Enceladus’ erupting plumes indicate that the ocean may be gas-rich, with a comet-like composition. But there is a missing methane problem — where did it go?
3:50 PM
