Spaceborne Canopy Height Products Should Be Complemented With Airborne Laser Scanning Data: Toward a European Canopy Height Model

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Measuring and mapping vegetation structure is essential for understanding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and for informing environmental policies. Recent years have seen a growing demand for high‐resolution data on vegetation structure, driving their prediction at fine resolutions (1–30 m) at state, continental, and global spatial ...

The THEMIS Control Network of Mars

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The accurate co‐registration of geospatial data is necessary to answer questions that cross‐cut disciplines and are key to understanding fundamental questions about our Solar System. To address this need and provide an updated product for Mars that is tied to a common reference frame, we have photogrammetrically controlled Thermal Emission ...

Future Changes in the Annual Sea‐Level Cycle

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Recent projections indicate that the range of the annual sea‐level cycle (ASLC) may increase, affecting flood risk, groundwater, and ecosystems. However, existing projections have several limitations, such as their exclusion of the inverse‐barometer effect, their uncertainty due to internal variability, and/or their regional focus. Furthermore,

Oceanic Heat Transport Along the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current and the Role of Eddies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The poleward warm Atlantic Water and returning cold water in the Nordic Seas play a crucial role in regulating the Northern Hemisphere climate. While previous studies have recognized the importance of mesoscale dynamics, a quantitative assessment of the role of mesoscale eddies in poleward heat transport is lacking.

Characterization of a Lava Plain NW of Ascraeus Mons, Mars, Through Surface Morphometric Analyses and SHARAD Subsurface Detections

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Martian lava plains are characterized by their extensive, low‐relief surfaces, which are the result of numerous basaltic eruptions and feature a variety of volcanic landforms, including vents, cones, pits, and skylights. The combination of these features and impact craters yields a significant understanding of the planet's geological past ...
