• Active Cryovolcanism on Europa? (2017, background): “Active cryovolcanism has been considered as a transport mechanism, which would result in recent deposition onto the surface from liquid reservoirs below (Fagents et al. 2000; Fagents 2003; Figueredo & Greeley 2004; Miyamoto et al. 2005).”
• Pressurized oceans and the eruption of liquid water on Europa and Enceladus (2007, background): “…exsolution of volatiles [e.g., Crawford and Stevenson, 1988], overpressurization of water trapped in discrete reservoirs within the ice shell [e.g., Fagents, 2003] or generated by magma intrusion into the base of an ice crust [e.g., Wilson et al., 1997], and topographically-driven flow into…”
• Europa’s Surface Composition (2009, background): “Sulfuric acid-water solutions have a eutectic point as low as ~200 K (Zeleznik, 1991), forming a low-temperature liquid that may explain some observed features (Collins et al., 2000; Fagents, 2003).”
• Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Charon: Possible Evidence for Cryovolcanism on Kuiper Belt Objects (2006, background): “Fagents (2003) showed that a decrease in density is accommodated by an increase in liquid pressure.”
• Cryovolcanism on Titan: New results from Cassini RADAR and VIMS (2013, background): “Effusive eruptions have been hypothesized to occur by pressurization of discrete liquid chambers [Fagents, 2003; Showman et al., 2004] or an entire ocean during freezing and volume changes [Manga and Wang, 2007].”
• PROBING FOR EVIDENCE OF PLUMES ON EUROPA WITH HST/STIS (2016, background): “Fagents (2003) summarizes a wide variety of models that could explain cryogenic volcanism on the surface of Europa, though acknowledging that despite the geological youth of the surface, there may be other explanations for the features considered.”
