Titania

Titania's surface is dominated by extensive systems of fault scarps and canyons, some of which can be up to 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) long and 75 kilometers (47 miles) wide. These features are believed to have formed through a combination of tectonic stresses and the flow of low-viscosity cryovolcanic fluids, similar to the processes that shaped the surface of Ariel.   At Sycorax Station, researchers concentrate on studying Titania's extensive fault systems and canyons, using a combination of orbital imagery, geophysical measurements, and surface exploration to unravel the moon's complex tectonic history. They are also interested in searching for evidence of past or present cryovolcanic activity and determining the potential for Titania to harbor subsurface liquid water or other habitable environments
