• Pressurized oceans and the eruption of liquid water on Europa and Enceladus (2007, background): “Such changes may arise from secular cooling, or the coupled orbital evolution and thermal evolution of the interior [e.g., Hussmann and Spohn, 2004].”
• Enceladus: An Active Ice World in the Saturn System (2013, result): “This conclusion adds weight to previous models suggesting that, for instance, Europa’s young surface age is due to orbitally driven fluctuations in ice shell thickness (Hussmann & Spohn 2004).”
• TIDALLY HEATED TERRESTRIAL EXOPLANETS: VISCOELASTIC RESPONSE MODELS (2009, methodology): “Full treatment of tides requires thermal-orbital coupling (Hussmann & Spohn 2004), which this paper does not model.”
• Empirical constraints on the salinity of the europan ocean and implications for a thin ice shell (2007, unknown): “Thermal-orbital evolution models support this possibility (Hussmann and Spohn, 2004; Hussmann et al., 2002).”
• Tidal heating in icy satellite oceans (2014, background): “1, we show a solution for the spectral coefficients from the semi-analytic method for a model global ocean on Europa (see parameters in Tables 1 and 2) including all tidal components.”
• Ganymede's internal structure including thermodynamics of magnesium sulfate oceans in contact with ice (2014, unknown): “Secular variations in Ganymede's orbit and obliquity almost guarantee oscillations in tidal heat input (Hussmann and Spohn, 2004), and it is also possible that radiogenic heat from interior was initially small (Schubert et al.”
