Alluvial rivers are conveyor belts of fluid and sediment that provide a record of upstream climate and erosion on Earth, Titan, and Mars. However, many of Earth's rivers remain …
Titan's surface and lower atmosphere support a hydrologic cycle that influences various aspects of the icy moon's appearance and evolution. Here, we review the state of knowledge …

The Earth is no longer the only known celestial body containing one or more liquid phases. The Cassini spacecraft has discovered seas of hydrocarbons at the surface of Titan, while a …
Rocky planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are among the most promising and abundant astronomical targets for detecting habitable climates. Planets in the M-dwarf habitable zone …

Despite receiving just 30% of the Earth's present-day insolation, Mars had water lakes and rivers early in the planet's history, due to an unknown warming mechanism. A possible …
Abstract Thanks to the Cassini–Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters, has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically shaped, organic …
Titan's atmosphere exhibits variations in composition as it progresses through its seasons. Past observations have shown a substantial enrichment in short-lived molecules in the …
In relaxation-oscillator (RO) climate states, short-lived convective storms with torrential rainfall form and dissipate at regular, periodic intervals. RO states have been demonstrated …
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is characterized by gigantic linear dunes and an active dust cycle. Much like on Earth, these aeolian processes are caused by the wind‐driven …
