Tracking Deep Mantle Melting on Mars Using Phobos Tides
Abstract We study the deep internal structure and rheological state of Mars by analyzing its response to tidal forces exerted by Phobos and by introducing a melt fraction in the mantle layers. Motivated by recent seismic evidence for a basal molten layer near the base of the Martian mantle, we explore the distribution of melt within the mantle and its ...

Brine Entrainment During Ice Shell Growth on Icy Worlds
Abstract The role of ocean composition in governing ice shell growth and ocean longevity on icy satellites remains poorly constrained. To address this, we develop a thermomechanical model of small to mid‐sized icy worlds that simulates ice shell growth from a saline ocean, explicitly quantifying brine entrainment through a parameterization of reactive ...
