Advancing Near‐Real‐Time Flood Inundation Mapping in Australia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Floods are the second‐most deadly natural hazard in Australia, following heatwaves. Monitoring flood extent and depth in near real‐time (NRT) is crucial to minimize loss of life and socio‐economic impacts. This study leverages advanced computing, data management systems, and high‐quality data, including river gauge data APIs and Australian ...

Harmonizing Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Observations Over CONUS NEON Sites: Assessing the Information Contributions of Multiple Data Constraints

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Workflow of the State Data Assimilation (SDA). ABSTRACT Accurate inventories of terrestrial carbon pools and fluxes are crucial for understanding ecosystem processes, tracking climate change impacts, and meeting the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) requirements in international treaties and voluntary carbon markets.

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.

Potentialities and Limits of ICESAT-2 Observation for Atmospheric Aerosol Investigation

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
ICESat-2(Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2), slated for launch in 2017, will continue the important observations of ice-sheet elevation change, sea-ice freeboard, and vegetation canopy height begun by ICESat in 2003.

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 ...

Characterization of canopy fuels using ICESat/GLAS data

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2012
article i nfo This study aimed to estimate canopy fuel properties relevant for crown fire behavior using ICESat/GLAS sat- ellite LiDAR data. GLAS estimates were compared to canopy fuel products generated from airborne LiDAR data, which had been previously validated against field data.
