Some Info Dr. Spiers’ research interests are quantifying and constraining the dynamic habitability of ocean worlds in our Solar System, such as Jupiter’s moon, Europa, and Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. She uses system models to examine energy and chemical transport within these oceans across scales. Spiers’ work will improve understanding of the habitability and evolution of ocean worlds throughout our Solar System –including Earth–, informing and providing constraints for planetary missions, such as NASA’s Europa Clipper.
