Scientific paper

Grooved terrain on Ganymede consists of sets of subparallel ridges and troughs, typically organized in structural cells within broader swaths of bright terrain. Morphological evidence generally indicates an extensional-tectonic origin for the ridges and troughs, likely as normal fault blocks. However, the detailed emplacement mechanism, stratigraphy, deformation style, and evolution of grooved terrain remain uncertain. Here we examine some of the outstanding questions regarding the origin and evolution of grooved terrain and discuss how planned Galileo observations will address these issues.
