To Which Extent the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission Is Currently Able to Monitor Water Surface Elevation and Extent on the French Lakes?

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study (July 2023–December 2025) assesses the SWOT satellite's ability to measure water surface elevation (WSE) and surface water extent (SWE) over diverse French lakes. WSE estimates from SWOT were compared to in situ gauge data and conventional radar altimetry, while SWE was evaluated using the Global Water Watch (GWW) database.

The Effects of Urbanization on Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience in Variable Microclimates Within Arid Environments

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Rapid urbanization significantly intensifies land surface temperature (LST), with profound implications for local climate, infrastructure sustainability, and environmental quality. The Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification provides a standardized framework for examining urban thermal dynamics and supporting strategies to mitigate heat ...

Alaska‐Yukon Glacier Depths From a Decade of Airborne Radar Sounding

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract NASA's Operation IceBridge employed airborne radar sounders in Alaska and adjacent northwestern Canada between 2012 and 2021 to measure the thickness of the region's glaciers. Here we present the first comprehensive analysis of these data, analyzing ∼31,700 linear‐km of radar profile data to provide over 5,500 linear‐km of ice thickness and ...

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Southern Andean glaciers have undergone fast retreat in recent decades. This results in reduced freshwater storage, contribution to sea‐level rise, and locally to the formation of glacial lakes, that may pose the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

Simulated Impacts of the 2023 Megadrought on Black Spruce Potential Productivity Across Canada

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Black spruce (Picea mariana) is a dominant tree species across the Canadian boreal forest and a key contributor to national carbon dynamics. However, its growth and stand productivity are increasingly threatened by intensifying droughts, rising temperatures, and associated disturbances such as wildfire. In this study, we used the process‐based

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The Influence of Sea Ice and Ice Mélange on Outlet Glacier Dynamics in the Arctic and Antarctic: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.

Remotely Sensed Surface Water Storage Shows Distinct Patterns From SWAT‐Simulated Data

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Quantifying and projecting the downstream benefits of water stored in lakes and wetlands (SWstorage) requires watershed hydrologic models, which often parameterize surface water storage in topographic depressions using static digital elevation model (DEM) data.
