Comparison of passive microwave remote-sensing snow-depth products on Arctic sea ice
Polar Research, 2019 Changes in snow cover on the surface of Arctic sea ice affect the energy balance between the atmosphere and the ocean and play a vital role in the global climate system.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract As global climate change intensifies, hurricane‐induced storm surges are becoming more frequent and severe. While Global Navigation Satellite System‐Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS‐IR) is widely used to monitor sea level variations, its capability to detect rapid and extreme events remains limited.

Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil
Journal of Forest Science, 2015 The Alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to climatic changes, which have an influence on glaciers, snow, vegetation and soils. The aim of this review is to illustrate the effects of global change on the Alpine soil ecosystem, which is an optimal marker to ...

Rainfall and Rain‐on‐Snow Events Over Greenland in Summer: Climatology, Trends, Synoptics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) events in the Arctic can lead to major impacts on the snow cover, cryosphere and environment. During the last decades, these events have significantly increased, mostly due to climate change. Here, we use outputs from the regional climate model MAR (version 3.14) driven by the ERA5 reanalysis at 10‐km resolution over ...

Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...

Vulnerability assessment and analysis of cryosphere changes in the Western Sichuan Plateau
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine ResearchA vulnerability assessment model and indicator system for the changes in the cryosphere in the Western Sichuan Plateau are constructed based on the “exposure–sensitivity–adaptive capacity” framework. The model aims to capture the multiple characteristics

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2026.The analysis of the IPCC AR6 WGI (2021) and WGII (2022) reports reveals that compound weather and climate events and risks (CE) mainly affect Oceania and Africa, and that the cascading impacts (CI) of climate change are particularly severe in the Arctic. Coastal and urban areas are the most cited archetypes in regard to CE and CI in these reports.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

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 ...

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...
