Hypothetical Icy Moon Seismic Profiles for Comparison to Future Seismic Data

Description

This dissertation provides a look at the major findings of my work on Titan seismology during my tenure as a graduate student. The introduction lays out the field of extraterrestrial seismology as it is today, and contextualizes my work on Titan in that regard as well as provides background on some of the key physics concepts needed to understand my work. In Chapter 2, I present my work published in the paper ('The Effects of Methane Clathrates on the Thermal and Seismic Profile of Titan's Icy Lithosphere') as well as some additional analysis that I led, supplemental to the paper. In Chapter 3, I present my first-authored publication on long period seismology ('Long Period Seismology on Titan in the Presence of a Methane Clathrate Lid'). In Chapter 4, I present the most recent publication ('Seismology of High Pressure Ice on Titan'). And in the last chapter I provide a brief summary of all of the findings of this body of work, as well as present some future directions.
