Observing Waves in Sea Ice With ICESat‐2
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractThe coupled interaction of ocean surface waves and sea ice is important in determining the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of sea ice and its relationship to the ocean and atmosphere. Wave‐ice interactions create the marginal ice zone (MIZ), a region critically important for ecology, transportation, and the polar energy budget.

Detection of Submerged Targets Beyond Eyes' Observation Using Satellite Lidar and Multispectral Data
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.Abstract Detecting submerged targets in shallow waters from satellite platforms remains a challenge, as the optical spectral information of targets is significantly distorted by the absorption and scattering effects of the water column. In this study, we propose a new framework as the bathymetry‐informed target extraction, which integrates the ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Modeling sea ice microwave emissivities at large scales presents challenges, due to complex interactions between the microwave signal and the sea ice environment. For the preparation of the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission (CIMR) that focusses on the monitoring of polar regions, a pragmatic parameterization of the sea ice ...
