Titan topics @ AGU 2008

The following links originally posted by E. Lakdawalla in her Planetary Society blog of 12-8-08 takes one to the interesting poster and platform session abstracts to be presented at the AGU this week. Lots of thought provoking topics covering Titan's atmosphere and surface!

I tend to agree, but the case for cryovolcanoes on titan isn't proven yet! Bear in mind though that even if Titan isn't volcanically active, it's almost certainly seen enough heating and aqueous cryolavas from impacts over it's history to load the crust with astrobiologically interesting materials. The estimates I remember for the life of a water-ammonia melt pool for biggish craters on titan were hundreds to hundreds of thousands of years. I would think something the size of Menrva would fall into the higher end of the spectrum.

On a bit of a tangent, are there any examples on any world we've explored of volcanism driven by impact melts?
