The potential habitability of Jupiter's moon Europa has motivated two missions: NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE). Both missions are equipped with ice‐penetrating radars which will transmit radio waves into the subsurface, recording reflections from interfaces defined by contrasts in ice shell dielectric properties. Assuming an MgSO4ocean, we show that salt layers, formed through the freezing of subsurface liquid water reservoirs, can be detected by ice‐penetrating radar instruments on Europa Clipper and JUICE. Furthermore, because these features are thermodynamically stable within the minimally attenuating portion of Europa's ice shell, referred to here as the “pellucid region,” they could produce brighter reflections than deeper liquid water interfaces. We demonstrate how ice‐penetrating radar measurements of salt layer thickness could establish lower bounds on the parameter space of possible initial reservoir thickness and salinity, constrain the origin of reservoirs (ice shell melt vs. ocean injection), and—if sourced through ocean injection—the ocean salinity. Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is thought to have the conditions necessary to support life as we know it. Europa is going to be explored by two missions: NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE). Both missions will use radar to look beneath the icy surface to search for liquid water and structures formed from liquid water freezing. In this work we show that salt layers, mixtures of salt and ice formed when salty water freezes into a solid, can be seen by radars on Europa Clipper and JUICE. These layers could give us clues about the water's original size and saltiness, and how these underground reservoirs formed—either from melting ice or ocean water pushing up into the ice shell. This research could help us understand more about Europa's ocean and its potential for life.

TTHE VISIONS OF violence come without prompts I can anticipate or perceive, typically in moments of tranquility and rest. My heart rate will soar, my breathing will quicken, and my muscles will tighten and twitch as if ready for a decisive act - a sprint for safety or a lunge into a fight. Molly Boehm, a licensed clinical social worker in Washington, D.C., who formerly worked with wounded service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, tells clients suffering from PTSD that it is as if mind and body, once exposed to a stressful enough trauma, keep returning to a primitive mode. PUBLIC PERCEPTION often associates PTSD with veterans of war. [Extracted from the article]
