Description
The findings of Voyager have brought Jupiter's moons out from the shadows. Now as much of interest to geologists as to astronomers, these satellites are brought under closer scrutiny by more than 50 international authorities in this new volume. Here is not only the latest research on thermal evolution, surface composition, cratering time scales, and other subjects; but also key chapters focusing on the satellite lo's volcanic eruptions, thermodynamcis, phase composition and more.
