Titan possesses subtle but distinctive structural geological features, such as ridges and linear terrain boundaries, and potentially structurally controlled morphological features such as valleys and lakes. These features can be used to study Titan's stress field and may represent or reflect interactions with regional or global structural patterns. If indicative of a global pattern, then the precise configuration may indicate the cause, such as orbital eccentricity, orbital recession or progression, and/or nonsynchronous rotation. We use Cassini's Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR) and HiSAR (a high-altitude single beam imaging mode) data of Titan with emphasis on the structural interpretation of tectonic elements. Also, we have applied the SARTopo technique to obtain surface height estimates with ~10 km horizontal resolution and ~75 m vertical resolution along each Cassini SAR swath, providing topographic information co-located with SAR imagery for a better understanding of the outlined lineaments.
