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

open access: yesAGU 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

Assessment of SWOT for Monitoring Ice‐Marginal Lake Water Levels in Greenland

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission provides a powerful data set for monitoring global surface water resources. However, its performance for monitoring ice‐marginal lakes in Greenland remains unknown. Due to the scarcity of in situ measurements, this study evaluated the reliability of ice‐marginal lake elevations ...
