Lopes et al. Icarus (in press) "Distribution and interplay of geologic processes on titan from Cassini radar data"
Analysis of RADAR data from Ta - T30 flybys.

Thanks Jason! Enjoy the book!

I love going through old tesxbooks and popular books.... makes me appreciate where we are now. Plus it is just fun!!!! Another fun read is "We Are Not Alone" by Walter Sullivan. 1964, 1966 editions. Space related matters were finally trickling into the concsiouness of the larger population. And the Earth sciences were being revolutionized by the reality of continental drift (plate tectonics) and the importance of impact cratering on other worlds. What a time!

For Titan the Barnes et al paper "VIMS spectral mapping observations of Titan during the Cassini prime mission" is also a must read http://barnesos.net/publications/papers/20....prime.data.pdf

Since Mike pointed out the Lopes paper I have been gathering my collection of Titan articles regarding the climate and methanological cycle as well. Have lot of free time tomorrow and gonna do a Titan read fest.

Sometimes it is good to go through such a review to put new work in perspective.
