EVALUATION OF ASTER GDEM V3 USING ICESAT LASER ALTIMETRY [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Abstract. We have used a set of Ground Control Points (GCPs) derived from altimetry measurements from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to evaluate the quality of the 30 m posting ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) V3 elevation products produced by NASA/METI ...

Assessment of SWOT for Monitoring Ice‐Marginal Lake Water Levels in Greenland

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission provides a powerful data set for monitoring global surface water resources. However, its performance for monitoring ice‐marginal lakes in Greenland remains unknown. Due to the scarcity of in situ measurements, this study evaluated the reliability of ice‐marginal lake elevations ...

Assessing Potential Landing Sites With Favorable Illumination and Accessible, Potentially Volatile‐Rich Permanently Shadowed Regions Within Artemis Candidate Landing Regions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The lunar south pole features permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) that never receive direct sunlight. These regions maintain cold temperatures that potentially trap and accumulate volatiles over geologic timescales. Within NASA's Artemis candidate landing regions, we identified 130 candidate landing sites (CLSs) that satisfy the Human Landing ...

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.

Influences of Structural and Species Diversity on Forest Resistance to Drought

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
Forest structural richness and species evenness respectively show positive and negative relationships with forest resistance to drought. These relationships between richness and resistance and between evenness and resistance become stronger under more severe droughts.

Self‐Consistent Models of Earth's Mantle and Core From Long‐Period Seismic and Tidal Constraints

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Here we illustrate the use of parameterized models to address fundamental questions about Earth's mantle and core structure. For this, we invert a large set of normal‐mode center frequencies and quality (attenuation) factors, along with astronomic‐geodetic data, for the radial anelastic seismic structure of the Earth.

Laser altimetry measurements from aircraft and spacecraft [PDF]

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1989
The techniques involved in the design and application of laser altimeter instruments are reviewed, including a description of the instrument subsystems required for the range and waveform measurements. Laser pulse transmitters based on the relatively novel technology of diode-pumped solid-state lasers are considered.

Integrating SWOT With Multi‐Source Satellite Observations for Near‐Daily Reservoir Water Level Monitoring

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Reservoirs play a crucial role in global water resource management. Monitoring reservoir hydrologic dynamics is critical for assessing climate variability and anthropogenic regulation. However, traditional satellite altimetry faces multiple challenges hindering high frequency and accuracy water level monitoring.

Lead and Floe Detection From CryoSat‐2 Radar and ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Differences in satellite sampling affect their ability to resolve small‐scale features over Arctic sea ice. For CryoSat‐2 (CS2) and ICESat‐2 (IS2) these differences are driven by geometric (footprint resolution) and radiometric (radar or laser) sampling.
