The Fate Of Frozen Carbonated Water At Europa-like Conditions

by Keith Cowing

We present the results of experiments probing the retention of CO2 in crystalline water ice, frozen sodium chloride (NaCl) brines, and flash-frozen carbonated water using diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy.

Laboratory Studies Of The Clathrate Hydrate Formation In The Carbon Dioxide-Water Mixtures At Interstellar Conditions

by Keith Cowing

This study investigates the formation of carbon dioxide clathrate hydrates under conditions simulating interstellar environments, a process of significant astrophysical and industrial relevance.
