Constraining #Ocean and Ice Shell Thickness on #Miranda from #Surface Geological Structures and Stress Modeling

Source: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/PSJ/ad77d7

Images from the #Voyager 2 mission revealed the small Uranian #satellite Miranda to be a complex, dynamic world. This is exemplified by signs of recent geological activity, including an extensive fault system and the mysterious coronae. This has led to speculation that Miranda may have been tectonically active within the geologically recent past and could have hosted a subsurface #liquid water ocean at the time. In this work, we aim to constrain the thickness ranges for the ice shell and potential subsurface ocean on Miranda.

This Flipping Ship Just Escaped the Wrecker's Claws—And Her Story Is Mind-Blowing!

#science #research #ocean

Commissioned in 1962, FLIP was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Over decades, it facilitated groundbreaking research that deepened our understanding of the ocean’s mysteries.

Whale Watch Ireland. ** Good News.

Kerry crew.. We haven’t had activity off the Dingle peninsula like this in years. With 7-8 humpbacks, up to 10 fin whales, Minke whales, common dolphins, bluefin tuna and thousands of seabirds. After a few lean years here it’s been a reminder of how a healthy ocean should look, a dynamic environment teeming with life. How if we protect our coastal habitats and forage fish stocks these pockets of activity could become more widespread again.

#Mystery of #MH370 Solved by #Science

This work changes the narrative of MH370’s -#disappearance from one of no-blame, fuel-starvation at the 7th arc, high-speed dive, to a #mastermind pilot almost executing an incredible perfect-disappearance in the Southern Indian #Ocean. In fact, it would have worked were it not for MH370 ploughing its right wing through a wave, and the discovery of the regular interrogation #satellite communications by Inmarsat—a brilliant discovery also announced in the Journal of #Navigation.
