Landscape formation through dissolution proceses on Titan: a 3D landscape evolution model approach
Résumé
In this work, we are able to produce digital eleva-tion models developed by dissolution under Titan’s surface conditions. These DEMs are used to produce artificial SAR images of the surface in order to com-pare the landscapes with the actual Cassini/RADAR SAR images of Titan. Striking similarities are seen between both kind of SAR images, which suggest that the landscape generated could explain the patterns ob-served in Cassini data. Further work will include the statistical analysis of the produced landscapes in order to infer possible quantitative information about Titan’s polar reliefs.
