CRYOVOLCANIC EMPLACEMENT OF DOMES ON EUROPATO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EVOLUTION AND MODIFICATION OF SURFACES WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM INCLUDING THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FLUID INVENTORIES AND THE SURFACE WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE FORMATION AND EMPLACEMENT OF PUTATIVE CRYOLAVA DOMES ON EUROPA'S SURFACE.THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO USE A QUANTITATIVE ANALYTIC MODEL TO ASSESS EMPLACEMENT ONDITIONS FOR CRYOVOLCANIC DOMES ON EUROPA.PROPOSED MODELING EFFORTS WILL ADDRESS THREE BROAD SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES:OBJECTIVE 1: CHARACTERIZE THE DIMENSIONS AND MORPHOLOGIES OF ALL DOMES ON EUROPA IDENTIFIABLE FROM THE GALILEO DATASET.OBJECTIVE 1: DETERMINE THE NECESSARY INITIAL CONDITIONS AND MODES OF SURFACE EMPLACEMENT THAT ALLOW EUROPAN DOMES TO FORM BY SIMILAR PHYSICAL PROCESSES AS SILICIC VOLCANIC DOMES FOUND ON EARTH AND VENUS.OBJECTIVE 3: QUANTIFY THE NECESSARY CONDITIONS IN EUROPA'S SUBSURFACE THAT WOULD LEAD TO THE SURFACE ERUPTION OF CRYOLAVAS AND EMPLACEMENT OF CRYOLAVA DOMES.WE DEFINE THREE SPECIFIC TASKS IN ORDER TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES ABOVE:TASK 1: USE THE GALILEO DATASET TO COMPILE QUANTITATIVE DATA INCLUDING HEIGHT DIAMETER AREA VOLUME AND DEGREE OF VARIABILITY FROM A CIRCULAR SHAPE.TASK 1: MODEL THE FORMATION AND SUBSEQUENT RELAXATION OF THESE CRYOLAVA DOMES UTILIZING A CONSTANT VOLUME APPROACH WITH A TIME-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY.TASK 3: DETERMINE THE LIKELY RHEOLOGY AND COMPOSITION OF CRYOLAVAS AND PLACE CONSTRAINTS ON ERUPTION TIMESCALES.RELEVANCE TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM WORKINGS PROGRAMTHE PROPOSED WORK CONSISTS OF ANALYTIC MODELING EFFORTS TO INVESTIGATE EMPLACEMENT OF PUTATIVE CRYOLAVA DOMES ON EUROPA BASED ON THE CHARACTERIZATION OF VOLCANIC DOMES ON EARTH AND VENUS. EXPLORING SIMILAR VOLCANIC PROCESSES ON DIFFERENT WORLDS WILL PROVIDE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTINUUM OF VOLCANIC PROCESSES THROUGHOUT THE SOLAR SYSTEM. INDEED UNDERSTANDING THE WAYS IN WHICH VOLCANIC AND MAGMATIC PROCESSES HAVE AFFECTED THE SURFACE AND INTERIOR OF EUROPA WILL HELP US TO "IDENTIFY THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL VARIATIONS IN VOLCANIC ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE SOLAR SYSTEM". THE PROPOSED WORK IS THEREFORE IN CONCERT WITH THE THEMES OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM WORKINGS PROGRAM.REFINING THE DETAILS OF SUBSURFACE CRYOMAGMA TRANSPORT ON EUROPA WILL AID IN BETTER QUANTIFYING THE THICKNESS OF THE ICY CRUST AND BY EXTENSION THE DEPTH TO THE SUBSURFACE OCEAN. FURTHER THE FREQUENCY AND EASE WITH WHICH CRYOLAVAS ARRIVE AT EUROPA'S SURFACE BAS IMPORTANT IMPLICATIONS FOR THE INTERIOR STRUCTURE AND RESURFACING HISTORY OF THE SATELLITE. THE RESULTS OF THIS MODEL WILL SHED LIGHTON VOLCANOLOGY AND MAGMATISM ON ICY SATELLITES PROVIDING CONSTRAINTS FOR VOLCANIC PROCESSES OPERATING ON OTHER OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES SUCH AS ENCELADUS AND TRITON. RESULTS OF THIS WORK WILL HELP TO PREPARE FOR OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSES OF DATA FROM FUTURE EUROPA MISSIONS SUCH AS THE PROPOSED EUROPA CLIPPER MISSION.
