The formation of high latitude karst lakes on Titan and implications for the existence of polar caps Lunar and Planetary Science XXXIX, Thirty-ninth Lunar and Planetary Science Conference
Titan's north polar lakes exhibit variable morphologies, but common to many is that they occupy steep-rimmed depressions, often 100s of metres deep; Kirk et al. [1] measured scarp heights up to 600 m by manual feature-based stereoscopic methods (fig. 1). Lake depressions with this morphology ar...
