A Volume Flux Approach to Europa Cryolava Dome Formation and Implications for the Thermal Evolution of Crustal Fluid Reservoirs
Abstract
We consider cryolava dome emplacement on Europa as cryolavas are actively erupted from a vent. We also consider thermal conditions in subsurface fluid reservoirs (i.e., cryomagama chambers) that would facilitate these eruptions.
