Dynamic Boundaries of Antarctic Active Subglacial Lakes Reveal Underestimated Water Volume Change and Overestimated Lakebed Active Area

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract This study revisited 158 documented active subglacial lakes across Antarctica, applying a height‐change anomaly delineation algorithm to CryoSat‐2 and ICESat‐2 satellite altimetry data to assemble a 14.75‐year (2010.5–2025.25) time series of active subglacial lake dynamics.

Water Storage Changes of Lakes and Reservoirs Across Asia (2018–2023) and Their Effects in Flood Control

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Monitoring lake and reservoir water levels is critical for water resource management and flood risk mitigation. We integrate Sentinel‐3A/B and ICESat‐2 altimetry to reconstruct monthly water levels (2018–2023) for 7,433 lakes and reservoirs (>5 km2) across Asia and estimate their storage variations.

Small and Medium‐Sized Inland Waterbodies: Water Volume Predictions and Flood Implications

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Small (<10 ha) and medium (10–100 ha) inland waterbodies are crucial for water storage and flood regulation, necessitating an improved understanding of their water volume. Traditional water volume measurement methods, modeling techniques, and advanced altimetry missions struggle to capture the non‐linear volume changes in these waterbodies ...

Spaceborne Canopy Height Products Should Be Complemented With Airborne Laser Scanning Data: Toward a European Canopy Height Model

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Measuring and mapping vegetation structure is essential for understanding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and for informing environmental policies. Recent years have seen a growing demand for high‐resolution data on vegetation structure, driving their prediction at fine resolutions (1–30 m) at state, continental, and global spatial ...

The Evolving Decline of Landfast Sea Ice in Northern Alaska and Adjacent Waters: Results from an Updated Climatology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We present a new 27‐year record of landfast sea ice extent in northern Alaska and adjacent waters, which uses ice chart data to extend a previous analysis based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. This new climatology provides updated information on the decline of landfast ice in a region of the Arctic that has seen extensive losses of ...

Mélange‐Driven Coupling Between the Central Pine Island Ice Shelf and the Piglet Glacier Reverses Recent Acceleration Trends

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract By analyzing velocity changes of the Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS) from October 2014 to August 2025 using Sentinel‐1A/B imagery, we find that the PIIS flow changed markedly over this period. A distinct slowdown occurred at the central PIIS from 14 March 2022 to 20 January 2023, during which velocities decreased from 13.15 ± 0.04 to 12.71 ± 0.17

Assessing canopy height measurements from ICESat-2 and GEDI orbiting LiDAR across six different biomes with G-LiHT LiDAR

Environmental Research: Ecology
The height of woody plants is a defining characteristic of forest and shrubland ecosystems because height responds to climate, soil and disturbance history.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Controls of Vegetation Net Primary Production at Greater Bay Area Outer Ecological Barrier

Biological Diversity, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 154-162, December 2025.
The spatiotemporal dynamics of NPP were evaluated for the ecological barrier of GBA, utilizing vegetation remote sensing, land use, and meteorological data. Results revealed that the vegetation NPP in the ecological barrier was 2.29 times that of the core area of GBA, highlighting its critical ecological function.

Quantifying Volumetric Scattering Bias in ICESat‐2 and Operation IceBridge Altimetry Over Greenland Firn and Aged Snow

Earth and Space Science
The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) mission has collected surface elevation measurements for over 5 years. ICESat‐2 carries an instrument that emits laser light at 532 nm, and ice and snow absorb weakly at this wavelength.
