Numbers, Distribution and Morphologies of Impact Craters on Titan
Introduction: Titan has very few impact craters [1]. With more than 30% of the surface now imaged by Cassini Radar through data take T44 there are only seven certain impact structures known. Fifty additional possible craters also have been identified. The certain craters have two distinct morphologies, and the probable craters appear to mostly be more degraded version of these two types. The cr...

We made a detailed geomorphologic map of the Menrva region of Titan, using Cassini RADAR data as our map base. Using similar techniques and approaches that were applied to mapping Magellan radar images of Venus, and earlier, more generalized Titan maps, we were able to define and characterize 10 radar morphologic units, along with inferred dunes and fluvial channels, from the RADAR data. Struct...
متن کاملAssessing Cryovolcanic Resurfacing of Titan
Introduction: A quantitative assessment is made of " cryovolcanism " as a resurfacing process on the saturnian moon Titan. The geologically young surface of Titan indicates that much resurfacing has taken place. However, to date, there has been no unambigu-ous detection of active " cryovolcanism " , such as the emplacement of a " cryolava " flow. The dense Titan atmosphere makes this kind of ob...
