The latest issue of Science has hit the web, and it contains an article by Lorenz et al. on the Great dune seas of Titan, as seen in T8 RADAR data:

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/312/5774/724

The article characterizes the longitundinal dunes seen in the equatorial dark regions and compares them to those seen in the Namib desert in southwestern Africa.
