Surface albedo darkening from wildfires in northern sub-Saharan Africa
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 Northern sub-Saharan Africa (NSSA) has a wide variety of climate zones or biomes, where albedo dynamics are highly coupled with vegetation dynamics and fire disturbances.

Improvements in aerosol layer height retrievals from TROPOMI oxygen A-band measurements by surface albedo fitting in optimal estimation [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement TechniquesThe aerosol layer height (ALH), from the Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI L2_AER_LH product, is based on an optimal estimation (OE) approach, fitting cloud-free measurements to synthetic reflectances in the strongest oxygen absorption band, provided by a neural ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 592-609, October/December 2026.ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1771-1780, October 2026.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic impacts on the thermal regime of rivers include climate change and deforestation. For the latter, developing modelling tools that can account for the impact of varying vegetation cover on river temperatures is essential. This study describes a new addition to the CEQUEAU hydrological and water temperature model: a shading ...
