Linear dunes on Titan and earth: Initial remote sensing comparisons
Paillou, P.; Radebaugh, J.; Lorenz, R. +3 more
Thousands of dunes found in Cassini Radar images of the equatorial regions of Titan, a moon around Saturn, are similar in size and morphology to linear dunes on Earth. We present remote sensing images of terrestrial analogues to the dunes on Titan obtained by Landsat and radar, both at considerably higher resolution than are available at Titan, th…
Dune morphology, sand transport pathways and possible source areas in east Thaumasia Region (Mars)
Silvestro, S.; Di Achille, G.; Ori, G. G.
An aeolian system located in Aonia Terra (eastern Thaumasia region) consists of six dark dune fields. The dune pattern suggests an organized extended sand transport system, which is characterized by the presence of long sand corridors. The latter connects the different ergs with potential sources. The sand stored in the ergs is provided by layered…
