...data, scientists found that Jupiter’s magnetic field lines were disturbed around Europa, suggesting Europa itself was producing a magnetic field. However, unlike Earth’s magnetic field, which is generated by a molten iron core, Europa’s magnetic field is likely to be generated in an electrically conductive layer 200 km below the moon’s surface. Using computer...

...data from the top few millimetres of the surface. The radar sounder will be able to penetrate much deeper, several kilometres beneath the surface, which will help us determine the thickness of the ice shells and depth of the oceans. Other instruments will give us a much better idea of the composition of the surface. We’ll also learn more about how the moons are...

...data. The approach adopted is to develop a probability model for a practical situation and then to investigate the properties of the model. Students are expected to be familiar with basic probability, random variables and expectation and the Poisson process. Modelling events in time consists of material from M343 Book 2, Modelling events in time and space, and has six...
