Author's personal copy Geomorphologic mapping of the Menrva region of Titan using Cassini RADAR data
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 کاملRelations between Deep and Shallow Stratigraphic Units of Northern Iraq during Cretaceous
The studied area includes Sulaimani, Erbil and Dohuk Governorates where Cretaceous rocks are well exposed in the High Folded Zone of North and Northeastern Iraq. This area is part of the northwestern boundary of Arabian platform near to Iranian border. In these governorates, the study tries to clarify the relations between deep and shallow stratigraphic units (formation or facies) during Cretac...
متن کاملThe Surface Age of Titan
Introduction: Since its arrival at the Saturnian system, the Cassini spacecraft has made about 100 Titan flybys. The surface of Titan has been revealed almost globally by the Cassini observations in the infrared and regionally to about 25% in radar wavelengths [1,2,3] as well as locally by the Huygens optical instruments [4]. Extended dune fields, lakes, distinct landscapes of volcanic and tect...
متن کاملEstimating erosional exhumation on Titan from drainage network morphology
[1] Drainage networks on Titan, Earth, and Mars provide the only known examples of non-volcanic fluvial activity in our solar system. The drainage networks on Titan are apparently the result of a methane-ethane cycle similar to Earth’s water cycle. The scarcity of impact craters and the uneven distribution of fluvial dissection on Titan suggest that the surface may be relatively young. The purp...
متن کاملRelative rates of fluvial bedrock incision on Titan and Earth
[1] Observations of likely fluvial channels on the surface of Titan, along with Titan’s geologically youthful surface, motivate this study of comparative fluvial erosion rates on Titan and the Earth. The roles of bedload abrasion, suspended load abrasion, plucking, and cavitation are considered. Despite orders of magnitude differences in some of the physical parameters that control fluvial inci...
