Stable Brine Layers beneath Europa’s Chaos
The formation mechanism of Europa’s large chaos terrain (>∼100 km diameter) and associated lenticulae (<∼10 km diameter) has been debated since their observations by the Galileo spacecraft. Their geomorphology and distribution suggest there may be reservoirs of saline liquid water 1–3 km benea...
