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:

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.

A giant chunk of the T8 RADAR SAR swath has been released on the planetary photojournal: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA08454 . This is the largest contingous chunk of SAR swath ever released, AFAIK. This portion covers the dark region known as Belet. This dark region is covered in longitundinal sand dunes with the occasional hilly splotch to divert the dunes. On the right side of the swath is the western portion of Adiri.
