A High‐Precision Crop Water Footprint Quantification Framework Based on Data Assimilation
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Agricultural production is a major consumer of water resources, and the crop water footprint (CWF) serves as a comprehensive metric for assessing agricultural water use efficiency and its associated impacts, thereby providing new insights for agricultural water management.

Aerosol‐Cloud Interactions: Overcoming a Barrier to Projecting Near‐Term Climate Evolution and Risk
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Aerosol‐cloud interactions (ACI) are a major source of uncertainty in climate science, critically affecting our ability to project near‐term climate evolution and assess societal risks. These interactions influence effective radiative forcing, cloud dynamics, and precipitation patterns, yet remain insufficiently constrained due to limitations ...

Seasonal Ice Cover Could Allow Liquid Lakes to Persist in a Cold Mars Paleoclimate
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Geomorphic and stratigraphic studies of Mars prove that extensive liquid water flowed and pooled on the surface early in Mars' history. Martian paleoclimate models, however, have difficulty simulating climate conditions warm enough to maintain liquid water on early Mars.

Lead and Floe Detection From CryoSat‐2 Radar and ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Differences in satellite sampling affect their ability to resolve small‐scale features over Arctic sea ice. For CryoSat‐2 (CS2) and ICESat‐2 (IS2) these differences are driven by geometric (footprint resolution) and radiometric (radar or laser) sampling.

Sea Ice Floe Segmentation in Close‐Range Optical Imagery Using Active Contour and Foundation Models
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The size of sea ice floes in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is a key factor influencing ice coverage, albedo, wave propagation, and ocean–atmosphere energy exchanges. Floe size can be observed by processing visual‐range imagery from ships, aircraft, or satellites.

Increased Aerosols From Siberian Wildfires Buffered Arctic Warming During 2013–2019
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract During 2013–2019, global aerosols, influenced by regional clean air actions and wildfires, changed significantly. Clean air actions in China, Europe, and North America reduced anthropogenic aerosols, whereas Siberia experienced increased wildfire aerosols due to local warm and dry conditions.
