Mechanisms of Surface Meltwater Ponding and Drainage on the Greenland Ice Sheet Revealed Using SkySat Imagery and Deep Learning

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Surface meltwater impacts Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance indirectly by reducing albedo and promoting hydrofracture. However, fully understanding both processes requires accurate mapping of small‐scale features such as ponds, channels, and moulins that govern meltwater formation and drainage. Here we investigate surface water dynamics at high

The Development of a Low Power GNSS System, as Part of a Drone Assisted Environmental Sensor Network for a Glacial Environment

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We show the development of an innovative Internet of Things Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System, to study the short‐term changes in surface velocity of two adjacent Icelandic glaciers, in order to understand the response of glaciers to climate change.

O Levee, Where Art Thou? Measuring the Abundance of Natural River Levees Across the Contiguous USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Most—if not all—alluvial rivers experience overbank floods. On some rivers, these floods form natural levees, whereas on others they do not. Existing theories for how levees form on riverbanks rely on the physics of sediment transport across the channel margin, but applying them to real rivers does not yield good predictions of why one river ...

Numerical Modeling Shows Increased Fracturing Due to Melt-Undercutting Prior to Major Calving at Bowdoin Glacier

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Projections of future ice sheet mass loss and thus sea level rise rely on the parametrization of iceberg calving in ice sheet models. The interconnection between submarine melt-induced undercutting and calving is still poorly understood, which makes ...

Using Terrestrial Organic Matter to Reconstruct the Stable Carbon Isotope Composition of the Atmosphere

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Carbon fluxes to Earth's atmosphere are reflected in the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO2 (δ13Catm). δ13Catm is used to track past changes to the global carbon cycle and is a variable in many paleoclimate proxies. However, existing δ13Catm proxy records derived from marine carbonates are relatively low‐resolution prior to the ...

Influence of Mars Topography on Radiation Dose Detected by the Mars Science Laboratory and Assessment of Mars Surface Albedo Radiation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Curiosity rover has been characterizing the Martian surface radiation field since 2012. The dose observed by RAD is influenced by a variety of factors, including an essential one, the terrain. After parking near Murray Buttes in September 2016 where it first detected a ∼5% decrease in dose rate ...

Debris at the edge: sedimentological dynamics of Hintereisferner's evolving terminus and glacial forefield, Austrian Alps

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 542-559, April 2026.
The interaction between glaciers and the debris accumulating on their surfaces is critical as the Earth warms, with consequences for ice dynamics, hydrology and mass balance together with slope and sedimentary processes. Understanding this interaction is necessary since it influences ablation rates, sediment and meltwater pathways.

Crevasse-induced Rayleigh-wave azimuthal anisotropy on Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland

Annals of Glaciology, 2019
Crevasses and englacial fracture networks route meltwater from a glacier's surface to the subglacial drainage system and thus influence glacial hydraulics.

Insights From Two Decades of Seismicity at Columbia Glacier

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We use Columbia Glacier as a case study to demonstrate how seismically cataloged calving events in Alaska can track glacier evolution over two decades. By combining this catalog—a serendipitous byproduct of earthquake monitoring—with terminus positions, bathymetry, glacier thickness, surface velocity, and environmental records, we show how ...
