Improved workflow for customized ICESat-2 ATL06 elevations captures seasonal mountain snow depths at sub-kilometer scale [PDF]
The CryosphereMountain snowpacks are a critical global water resource, providing freshwater to more than a billion people worldwide. Estimates of snow distribution across mountain watersheds are dependent on sparse in situ observations and spatio-temporally limited ...

Floods From Space: How Remote Sensing, AI, and Cloud Platforms Are Reshaping Disaster Risk Reduction
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most damaging climate‐related hazards globally, yet flood remote sensing has historically developed largely along sensor‐specific pathways. This review addresses the need for a systematic and decision‐oriented synthesis of how space‐borne remote sensing has evolved toward integrated flood monitoring and disaster ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10127-10146, 30 August 2026.ABSTRACT The spatio‐temporal relationship between Forest Canopy Structure (FCS) and Belowground Biomass Carbon (BGBC) is fundamental to determining how optimizing spatial structure can maximize forest carbon‐sink potential in land management. However, the lidar data resolution over the space and time exists limitation, causing the coupling relationship

The contribution of small trees to carbon stocks along a recovery gradient in the Amazonia
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Most ecological knowledge about carbon recovery during natural regeneration in tropical regions has focused on individuals exceeding 10 cm in diameter. However, the contribution of smaller individuals to aboveground carbon (AGC) across successional gradients remains poorly quantified, despite their potentially substantial role during early ...
