Evidence of Titan's climate history from evaporite distribution
Abstract Water–ice-poor, 5-μm-bright material on Saturn's moon Titan has previously been
geomorphologically identified as evaporitic. Here we present a global distribution of the …

Nature, distribution, and origin of Titan's undifferentiated plains
Abstract The Undifferentiated Plains on Titan, first mapped by Lopes et al.(Lopes, RMC et
al., 2010. Icarus, 205, 540–588), are vast expanses of terrains that appear radar-dark and …

Sand dune patterns on Titan controlled by long-term climate cycles
Linear sand dunes cover the equatorial latitudes of Saturn's moon Titan and are shaped by
global wind patterns,,. These dunes are thought to reflect present-day diurnal, tidal and …
