The Evolution of Planetary Landscapes from Callisto to Helene

Orkan Umurhan

Landform evolution modelling has become an important tool in interpreting the landscapes of the icy satellites of the solar system.  In this talk, I will discuss the methods that are applied to this purpose and describe its application to several interesting icy satellite bodies, including Titan, Triton, Callisto and Helene.  The talk will conclude with a preview of landform evolution modelling results applied to Pluto.
