Moons in the outer Solar System release heat as they orbit their host planets, creating intense volcanism and subsurface water oceans. However, few experimental constraints exist on the geodynamics of materials under moonlike conditions, limiting understanding of moon evolution and subsurface deformation. This talk discusses the importance of understanding moons ...
