Recent Observations of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica Are Consistent With High Rates of Loss in Next 50 Years

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Thwaites Glacier has experienced accelerating mass loss, with rates increasing over fivefold since the 1990s. We apply transient calibration to two independent ice‐sheet models (STREAMICE and ISSM) using time‐varying velocity and surface elevation data from 2004 to 2017 to project future mass loss through 2067.

Characterizing Landslide‐Induced Floods Using the SWOT Mission: A Case Study on the Chilcotin River, Canada

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Monitoring small rivers during extreme events is challenging, especially in remote areas. This study assesses the accuracy of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission in characterizing an extreme hydrological event on a narrow river (∼60 m wide), using a landslide‐induced flood on the Chilcotin River (Canada) as a case study.

Movement Models to Predict Low‐Altitude Flight of Soaring Birds Using Look‐Ahead Environmental Factors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Eagles see ahead. Now our model does too. By modeling how eagles respond to terrain and wind conditions in their line of sight, we can predict where they'll fly in the next 3 min with 3× better accuracy than current methods—protecting eagles while maximizing energy production.

MARINE GEOID UNDULATION ASSESSMENT OVER SOUTH CHINA SEA USING GLOBAL GEOPOTENTIAL MODELS AND AIRBORNE GRAVITY DATA [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Global geopotential models (GGMs) are vital in computing global geoid undulations heights. Based on the ellipsoidal height by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations, the accurate orthometric height can be calculated by adding precise and ...

The Influence of Bathymetry on Regional Marine Geoid Modeling in Northern Europe

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Although Northern Europe has been the target area in many regionwide geoid determination studies, the research has been land-focused, neglecting bathymetry information. With new projects, such as the Baltic Sea Chart Datum 2000, the attention is shifting

Quantifying river morphological changes using multi‐satellite observations and in situ measurements

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study integrates optical, radar and altimetry satellite data with river gauge measurements to estimate periodically submerged riverbed topography and quantify morphological change. By linking how often water covers the riverbed with water‐level variations, erosion and deposition patterns are mapped across a reach of Jamuna River.

Near-zone Direct and Indirect Topographic Effects Based on the Rectangular Prism and Surface Element [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, 2019
Helmert’s second method of condensation is an effective method for terrain reduction in the geoid and quasi-geoid determinations. Condensing the masses outside the geoid to a surface layer on the geoid produces several forms of topographic effects ...

Geoid Commission

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1989
The International Geoid Commission was formed by the International Association of Geodesy at the 19th General Assembly of the IUGG in Vancouver, 1987. The commission operates as Commission XII of Section III (Determination of the Gravity Field) of IAG.A Commission of the IAG considers those activities for which close international cooperation or ...

Holocene subaqueous landslide dynamics in the Lake Siljan‐Orsasjön Basin, south‐central Sweden

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Subaqueous landslide areas studied by multibeam bathymetry, sub‐bottom profiling and sediment coring reveal complex stratigraphies, suggesting mass movement events starting close to the area's deglaciation and up to very recent times. Abstract The Siljan‐Orsasjön Basin in south‐central Sweden hosts two prominent lakes.

Topographic Effects in Geoid Determinations

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Traditionally, geoid determination is applied by Stokes’ formula with gravity anomalies after removal of the attraction of the topography by a simple or refined Bouguer correction, and restoration of topography by the primary indirect topographic ...
