Lakes, evaporites, and sand: Investigations into the sedimentary cycle on Saturn’s moon Titan - Livestream

Saturn’s moon Titan hosts the only active hydrological cycle outside of Earth’s and, thus, an associated sedimentary cycle where surface materials are modified and redistributed with the ebb and flow of liquid hydrocarbons. In this talk, we’ll discuss some recent efforts to understand the history of Titan’s lakes and seas, their associated organic deposits, and how these processes manifest across the surface, especially as might be observable by NASA’s next New Frontiers Mission, Titan.
