Lots of interesting abstracts on Titan’s geochemistry, surface composition and tectonics, dunes and interesting laboratory experiments (including one from Juramike) investigating hydrocarbon properties under simulated Titan surface conditions can be found here. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2013/...Abstracts/view/

A fascinating abstract on the South Polar lakes, rivers and possible dry seas (basins) by C.A. Wood, E.R.
Stofan, A.G. Hayes, R.L. Kirk, J.I. Lunine. J. Radebaugh; and M. Malaska.(way to go Juramike) can be viewed here: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2013/pdf/1764.pdf We have previously discussed the some of the S Polar basins in this forum especially in posts on T65 and T71. The latter SAR is one of the most interesting ones south of Titans equator and I have taken the liberty of placing it on a copy of VP’s awesome S Polar SAR map http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~perry/RADAR/ T71 crosses three of the newly identified basins shown on the maps below. (Basin outlines from the abstract above)

Another interesting abstract http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2013/pdf/1851.pdf discusses mountain building on Titan as a result of contraction-compression and the reduction in the force required due to movement of relatively thin crustal layers facilitated by high subsurface liquid (methane) hydrocarbon pore pressure. Data for the 200 W mountain belt is given. Not sure but would suspect this concerns the one of the newly named mountain ranges in Adiri (figure)which are close to that longitude.

Zac's poster showed a nice comparison of some the mountains in E Adiri (might be the ones in the right half of the image you posted) and some of the terrestrial mountain belts running NW-SE near Yakima, Washington state.

Link to the poster mentioned above in Juramike's post can be found here:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2013/eposter/1851.pdf Looks like the Mindolluin mountain range was one of those analyzed in detail.
