Advancing Near‐Real‐Time Flood Inundation Mapping in Australia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Floods are the second‐most deadly natural hazard in Australia, following heatwaves. Monitoring flood extent and depth in near real‐time (NRT) is crucial to minimize loss of life and socio‐economic impacts. This study leverages advanced computing, data management systems, and high‐quality data, including river gauge data APIs and Australian ...

Reduced Future Summer Water Availability in the Tien Shan Due To Glacier Wastage

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Glaciers in the Tien Shan mountains of Central Asia are a crucial source of freshwater for agriculture and local communities, sustaining over 100 million people in the region. Here, we project future water availability for this region by dynamically modeling the evolution of all glaciers and merging their runoff with hydrological runoff ...

Comparing Snow Water Equivalent Estimations From Long Short‐Term Memory Networks and Physics‐Based Models in the Western United States

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In snowmelt‐dominated regions like the western U.S., mountain snowpacks supply 50%–70% of the total runoff. Accurate estimation of snow water equivalent (SWE) is critical for informed management of water resources, including reservoir operations, flood risk assessments, and drought mitigation. However, the spatial variability and complexity of

Large Streamflow Differences Between Forested and Urbanized Watersheds in the Energy‐Limited Eastern United States: The Role of Evapotranspiration and Impervious Surfaces

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Urban forests and other green infrastructures have been viewed as part of the “Nature‐based Solutions” (NbS) to mitigate emerging urban environmental change. This study focuses on the role of evapotranspiration (ET) in regulating water balances of small watersheds in the eastern United States.

Darkened Snow Triggers Different Snowmelt Responses Over Contrasting Water Years in Great Salt Lake Headwater Basins

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Snow in the Great Salt Lake Basin is a vital resource for regional agriculture, municipal water use, and the Great Salt Lake. Accumulation of light absorbing particles (LAPs) on mountain snowpacks results in lower albedos and earlier melt compared to clean snow.
