Dissolution on Titan and on Earth: Towards the age of Titan's karstic landscape

The morphology of Titan’s lacustrine depressions led to comparisons with terrestrial depressions developed by karstic dissolution. We tested this hypothesis by computing dissolution rates of Titan’s solids in liquid methane. We inferred from these rates the timescales needed to create dissolution landforms of a given depth. Dissolution would be a very efficient geological process to shape Titan’s surface, on timescales generally shorter than 100 Myrs, consistent with the youth of Titan’s surface (<1Gyr)
