A Closer Look At Titan's Methane Seas

Saturn's largest moon is covered in seas and lakes of liquid hydrocarbons and one sea has now been found to be filled with pure methane, with a seabed covered by a sludge of organic-rich material, and possibly surrounded by wetlands.


Structure of Titan's Evaporites

Numerous geological features that could be evaporitic in origin have been identified on the surface of Titan.

Early Titan Was a Cold, Hostile Place

Titan is a mysterious orange-socked moon of Saturn that is exciting to astrobiologists because it has some of the same kinds of chemicals that were precursors to life on Earth. Its atmosphere is 95 percent nitrogen, but it also has a tad bit of methane, predominantly close to the surface.



Simulations of Titan's Paleoclimate

We investigate the effects of varying Saturn's orbit on the atmospheric circulation and surface methane distribution of Titan.
