We are upgrading the repository! A content freeze is in effect until November 22nd, 2024 - no new submissions will be accepted; however, all content already published will remain publicly available. Please reach out to repository@u.library.arizona.edu with your questions, or if you are a UA affiliate who needs to make content available soon. Note that any new user accounts created after September 22, 2024 will need to be recreated by the user in November after our migration is completed.

| dc.description.abstract | Recent narrow band imagery of the surface of Titan reveals a very non-uniform surface. While there are no global oceans of liquid ethane/methane as once conjectured, the imagery does suggest the possibility of seas or lakes of liquid ethane, methane, and other organic materials. If these exist, Titan could be considered a gigantic analog model of the Earth's climate system complete with land masses, moderately thick atmosphere, and large bodies of liquid. By studying the climate of Titan, we could gain further understanding of the processes and mechanisms that shape the Earth's climate. Reuse of existing technology and methods may be a way to speed development and lower costs for the global study of Titan. Surprisingly, one of the key technologies could be a Transit or Global Positioning System (GPS) descendant for use in tracking probes wandering the surface of Titan. | |
