Icy ocean worlds are potentially the most habitable bodies outside of Earth. I and my co-authors have drafted a white paper to the UK Space Agency on why we should study these worlds. If you are a UK-based researcher and would like to support this as a signatory, please DM me!

Ever wondered how Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, generates so much heat? Learn about new physics of Io's tidal heating here: doi.org/10.1098/rspa....
Poro-viscoelastic tidal heating of Io | Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
Io’s tidally driven global volcanism indicates widespread partial melting in its mantle.
How this melt participates in the interior dynamics and, in particular, the role it
plays in tidal dissipation,...
