I thought it was already pretty well established Europa experienced tectonic shifting of the outer crust. It's incredibly easy to see areas that have older ice breaks that have completely shifted due to later plate shifting.
Not sure why someone would write a paper on something that's already so well known and easily seen / understood. Except to have filler for their published paper catalogue.
