Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Quantifying decadal‐scale erosion rates in tectonically active regions is essential for assessing landscape hazards and constraining sediment budgets. A key question in Earth surface processes is how contemporary erosion measurements influenced by recent climatic extremes relate to long‐term geological rates.

Backwater Effects From River Ice Jams Observed With SWOT Pixel Cloud Data
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract This study examines the backwater effects from ice jams in Arctic rivers using the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. Ice jams occur when chunks of ice accumulate and obstruct the river flow, causing rapid water level rises and flooding.

Deriving Snow Depth From ICESat-2 Lidar Multiple Scattering Measurements: Uncertainty Analyses
Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022 The application of diffusion theory and Monte Carlo lidar radiative transfer simulations presented in Part I of this series of study suggests that snow depth can be derived from the first-, second- and third-order moments of the lidar backscattering ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract The 6 June 2023 failure of the Kakhovka Dam generated a catastrophic outburst flood, leading to loss of life and infrastructure damage. During the flood, daily measurements of water surface elevation were collected by the SWOT satellite, providing the first direct, high‐resolution 2D measurements of a large outburst flood.
