Scientific paper

This brief overview will cover some recent work on solar system ices. The focus is on the origin, physical properties, composition, and radiation-induced chemistry of ices dominated by water, with an emphasis on comets and water-rich ices on satellites such as Europa. Understanding the physical characteristics and chemistry of these ices is important for explaining observations such as the albedo and sublimation of ice from planetesimals and comets, the formation of molecules that may have led to life, and planning present and future space missions.
