Measuring Ganymede’s Librations with Laser Altimetry [PDF]
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede might be in possession of a subsurface ocean located between two ice layers. However, from Galileo data it is not possible to unambiguously infer the thickness and densities of the individual layers.

Global marine gravity field models at 1-arcminute resolution derived from optimized fusion of ICESat-2 along-track and cross-track measurements [PDF]
Satellite altimetry is a primary source for deriving the global marine gravity field. Leveraging Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) multi-beam laser altimetry, this study constructs global 1-arcminute gridded models of marine deflection
