Performance Assessment of ICESat-2 Laser Altimeter Data for Water-Level Measurement over Lakes and Reservoirs in China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Although the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) was primarily designed for glacier and sea-ice measurement, it can also be applied to monitor lake surface height (LSH ...

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.

Performance of ICESat‐2 Precision Pointing Determination

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
Global elevations are critical to understanding the Earth's dynamic processes and changing climate. These measurements are best acquired from a space‐based vantage point and are most accurate using laser altimetry technology.

A noise removal algorithm based on adaptive elevation difference thresholding for ICESat-2 photon-counting data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023
Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) has shown great potential for near-shore bathymetry. Unavoidably, the photon data acquired has a lot of noise.

Sensitivity of Flood Extent and Population Exposure to Variations in Bathymetry Across a Shallow Continental Shelf Lagoon

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Bathymetry is a critical input to storm surge models on coastlines fronted by lagoon systems, yet few studies explore how variations in bathymetry influence flood impacts, flooded extent, and exposed population across these globally widespread morphologies.

Evaluating and comparing the performance of ICESat-2 and GEDI data for estimating aboveground biomass in mangroves

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
The launch of the ICESat-2 and GEDI spaceborne LiDAR missions has provided new opportunities for large-scale estimation of mangrove aboveground biomass density (AGBD); however, their footprint-scale performance remains unclear.

Impacts of Temperature‐ and Stress‐Dependent Rheology on Ice‐Shelf‐Front Bending

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Classical treatments of ice‐shelf bending suggest that shelf fronts should bend downwards, due to the distribution of hydrostatic water pressure at the front. However, LiDAR data show several instances of upward‐bending ice‐shelf fronts. While this phenomenon has often been attributed to a buoyant force from a submerged ice bench, recent work ...

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.
