Scientific paper

Titan's surface shows significant evidence of extensive fluvial modification. We suggest that fluvial erosion is responsible for the significant lack of craters, as well as the lack of central peaks in the few complex craters observed. Using a drainage basin model, we present a comparison of the efficiency of erosion and infilling of craters of varying size on Titan's surface, and estimate the timescale on which those craters may be erased.
