TL;DR: The Cassini Titan Radar Mapper obtained Synthetic Aperture Radar images of Titan's surface during four fly-bys during the mission's first year as mentioned in this paper, showing evidence of major planetary geologic processes, including cryovolcanism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors model the chemical evolution of Titan, where primordial NH3 reacts with sulfate-rich brines leached from the silicate core during its hydration, and predict that Titan is being resurfaced by cryoclastic ash consisting of ice and ammonium sulfate (or its tetrahydrate), providing an abundance of sedimentary grains, a potential source of bedload for fluvial transport and erosion, and of sand-sized material for dune-building.

TL;DR: In this paper, the plausible existence of life within Titan's subterranean ocean is discussed in terms of the effects that gaseous waste products of such indigenous organisms could have on the chemical and isotopic composition of the atmosphere.

TL;DR: Titan's moment of inertia (MoI), estimated from the quadrupole gravity field measured by the Cassini spacecraft, is 0.342, which has been interpreted as evidence of a partially differentiated internal mass distribution.

TL;DR: TandEM is designed to build on but exceed the scientific and technological accomplishments of the Cassini–Huygens mission, exploring Titan and Enceladus in ways that are not currently possible (full close-up and in situ coverage over long periods of time).
