Description

The early 2030s will see the arrival of several flagship planetary missions to the outer Solar System, designed to probe the geophysical evolution of icy moons such as Titan, Europa, and Ganymede. The water-rich layers of these bodies (potentially hosting liquid-water habitats) are subjected to high-pressure, low-temperature conditions that have remained largely unexplored since the pioneering work of Percy Bridgman more than a century ago. Recent experimental advances have begun to reveal a range of previously unknown thermodynamic behaviors in water-based systems under these extreme conditions. In this talk, I will review recent results from international collaborations that have led to major breakthroughs in our understanding of the thermodynamics of aqueous liquids and ice phases, and show how these findings provide new insights into the internal structure, habitability, and future exploration of icy moons and water-rich exoplanets.
