I. Episodic volcanism of tidally heated satellites with an application to Io. II. Thermal state of an ice shell on Europa. III. Polar wander of a synchronously rotating satellite with an application to Europa

Two examples of planetary bodies that may have coupled thermal and dynamical evolutions are investigated. The work is presented in three individual papers. The first example is that of a tidally heated satellite in an orbital resonance, for which the tidal dissipation rate is a strongly increasin...
