New Constraints on Pluto's Sputnik Planitia Ice Sheet from a Coupled Reorientation-Climate Model

We present a coupled reorientation and climate model, to understand how true polar wander (TPW) and atmospheric condensation worked together to create the Sputnik Planitia (SP) ice sheet and reorient it to its present-day location on Pluto. SP is located at 18 N, 178 E, very close to the anti-Charon...
