Small Reservoirs Offer a New Perspective on Flood Reduction in Large Basins

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The flood reduction potential of individual reservoirs within a large river network continuum remains poorly understood due to the complex interplay between reservoir characteristics and network properties. Here we investigate whether a collection of relatively small reservoirs can play a significant role in mediating downstream floods and ...

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 ...

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for Monitoring Seasonal Snow

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) offers a potential pathway for measuring seasonal snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth at spatial and temporal scales needed for basin‐scale hydrology. First proposed for seasonal snow more than 25 years ago, InSAR uses repeat‐pass radar phase differences to estimate changes in SWE or ...

Evaluating and comparing the performance of ICESat-2 and GEDI data for estimating aboveground biomass in mangroves

International Journal of Digital Earth
The launch of the ICESat-2 and GEDI spaceborne LiDAR missions has provided new opportunities for large-scale estimation of mangrove aboveground biomass density (AGBD); however, their footprint-scale performance remains unclear.

Quantifying Surface‐Height Change Over a Periglacial Environment With ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry

Earth and Space Science, 2021
We use Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat‐2) laser altimetry crossovers and repeat tracks collected over the North Slope of Alaska to estimate ground surface‐height change due to the seasonal freezing and thawing of the active layer.
