Glacier‐Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High‐Mountain Regions ‐ A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Mountain glaciers are among the natural systems most vulnerable to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large‐scale ...

The sub-seasonal and interannual spatio-temporal variability of bare-ice albedo of Abramov Glacier, Kyrgyzstan

Journal of Glaciology
As snowlines retreat, the bare ice of Central Asian glaciers is increasingly exposed to short-wave radiation and high temperatures. The importance of bare-ice albedo for glacier melt rates is thus rising. Little is known about the variability of bare-ice

The effects of atmospheric dust on observations of Martian surface albedo [PDF]

The Mariner 9 and Viking missions provided abundant evidence that aeolian processes are active over much of surface of Mars. A radiative transfer model was developed which allows the effects of atmospheric dust loading and variable surface albedo to be ...

Along the Silenced Footsteps of Latin American Pastoralists: From Mexico to Argentina, a Journey Through Pastoral Systems in Latin America

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pastoralism worldwide faces a complex landscape of increased pressures and exclusion. Beyond ecological and economic challenges, pastoralists suffer eroding cultural identity, limited generational renewal, and political marginalization. Yet pastoral livelihoods are increasingly recognized as stewards of sustainable futures and amongst the best

Parametric Sensitivity of Hemispheric Albedo Symmetry Weakly Constrains Shortwave Cloud Radiative Feedbacks in the Community Atmosphere Model Version 6

Geophysical Research Letters
Earth's albedo is symmetric between the northern and southern hemispheres (NH and SH, respectively) because SH clouds compensate for higher NH clear‐sky albedo, a feature that climate models have difficulty capturing.

Projected Late 21st Century Warming Unprecedented in Northwest China in a Holocene Context

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Northwest China is facing socio‐environmental challenges linked to ongoing climatic warming. However, a scarcity of regional paleorecord syntheses limits our understanding of natural long‐term climate variability in the region and hinders the contextualization of contemporary warming.

Pivotal Role of Cloud‐Planetary Boundary Layer Coupling to Explain Contrasting Aerosol‐Cloud Relationships

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The radiative effect of aerosol on cloud albedo via altering cloud droplet effective radius (re) is a major uncertainty in the Earth's climate system. Remote sensing studies have reported either negative or positive relationships between re and aerosol number concentration (Na) or other aerosol proxies.

Diverging Spring Warming and Growing Season Shifts Across Eurasia and North America Under Future Climate

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Springtime warming over Northern Mid‐High‐latitude Land profoundly affects plant life cycles and water resources, yet large model uncertainty limits climate risk assessment. Here, we develop a novel emergent constraint that targets the key uncertainty source—model divergence in surface‐albedo feedback linked to historical snowmelt sensitivity.

Assessing Satellite Data’s Role in Substituting Ground Measurements for Urban Surfaces Characterization: A Step towards UHI Mitigation

Atmosphere
Urban surfaces play a crucial role in shaping the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect by absorbing and retaining significant solar radiation. This paper explores the potential of high-resolution satellite imagery as an alternative method for characterizing ...

Low Cloud Dispersion Effects by Anthropogenic Aerosols in Polluted Air

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) are a major source of uncertainty in anthropogenic climate forcing. Anthropogenic aerosols modulate the cloud albedo by impacting the relative dispersion (ε) of cloud droplet size distributions (CDSDs), known as the dispersion effect.
