Remote sensing instruments aboard the Cassini spacecraft have been observed the surface of Titan globally in the infrared and radar wavelength ranges as well as locally by the Huygens instruments revealing a wealth of new morphological features indicating a geologically active surface. We present a summary of mapping products of Titan's surface derived from data of the remote sensing instruments onboard...
Based on comprehensive mapping of the region, the recent theories of Xanadu’s origin are examined and a chronology of geologic processes is proposed. The geologic history of Titan’s Xanadu region is different from that of the other surface units on Saturn’s moon. A previously proposed origin of western Xanadu from a giant impact in the early history of the moon is difficult to confirm given the scarcity...
Neue Radardaten der Cassini‐Sonde enthüllen erdähnliche Landschaften auf dem Titan, dem größten Mond des Saturn. Die Bilddaten zeigen Täler und Flussläufe, wie sie auch für die Oberfläche der Erde typisch sind. Allerdings werden oder wurden sie auf dem Titan von flüssigem Methan geformt.
The surface of Titan has been revealed by Cassini observations in the infrared and radar wavelength ranges as well as locally by the Huygens lander instruments. Sand seas, recently discovered lakes, distinct landscapes and dendritic erosion patterns indicate dynamic surface processes. This study focus on erosional and depositional features that can be used to constrain the amount of liquids involved...
