Jupiter’s moon, Europa, is a strong candidate in the search for life across the solar system because of a dynamic, liquid water ocean that lies beneath an exterior ice shell. Diverse geologic features and salt deposits can be seen on Europa's surface and their existence hints at interaction between a geologically active ice shell and salty ocean underneath. However, the absence of direct measurements and relatively low resolution of existing Europa data leaves the dynamics and habitability of its ocean largely unknown. This work uses numerical modeling to investigate the ocean world’s potential for habitability. This is accomplished primarily via numerical analysis and modeling to characterize the relationship between heat and salt fluxes, ocean and ice shell thicknesses, and global ocean circulation. A better characterization of the coupling between Europa’s ice shell and underlying ocean will shed light on how properties like heat and salt are transported throughout the global ocean, a process that is instrumental for physical and ecosystem dynamics in Earth's ocean.
