Alluvial fans in Death Valley provide analogs for possible fans on Titan. Analysis of radar backscatter and context suggests similar sedimentary processes. Death Valley sheetflood fans and debris flow fans exhibit differences in backscatter. Possible Titan fans at different latitudes also show differences in backscatter. Interplanetary comparisons suggest distinct fan forming processes by latitude on Titan.
