Heat transfer through ice I in main function should be improved by including recently published model results #31

Heat transfer through the ice is based on parameterizations from numerical experiments, and should be updated as new relevant results become available.

Recent work by Harel et al. (2020) proposes updated and more accurate parameterization for ice I in icy worlds. I haven't read the paper in detail; it may apply primarily to thinner ice shells. For thicker stagnant shells---mainly Callisto---the recent work by Deschamps (2022) should also be evaluated.
