Rapid Land Surface Uplift and Groundwater Recovery Observed During the Syrian War

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Recent geopolitical upheaval in Syria is driving regional growth by returning populations, which increases demands on water resources. In northwest Syria, widespread cropland abandonment during the Syrian War starting in 2011 drastically changed the hydrological regime of the region.

Burning Bans Have Altered Burned Area Changes in China Since 2003

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the spatiotemporal variability of vegetation fires is crucial for effective fire management. However, systematic assessment of fire regime changes across China is still limited, particularly given the strict implementation of the open cropland burning bans since 2014.

Estimating snow cover area in south of Turkey using the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) form MODIS Satellite Images

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract Snow and Ice–cover area information is important for a wide variety of scientific climate studies, water source and management applications. The NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite, provides improved capabilities to observe snow-ice coverarea from space and has been ...

Dissolved Black Carbon in North Cascades Snow, Meltwater and a Downstream River

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Quantification of black carbon on snow in the Cascade Range is needed due to increasing wildfire intensity and frequency. Here, the benzenepolycarboxylic acid (BPCA) molecular method was used to measure dissolved black carbon (DBC) in snow, nearby rivers, streams, and supraglacial melt collected in 2022 and 2023 from Mount Baker and Mount ...

Making a Dust Source Map: Can We Build, Implement, and Learn From a Reflectance Derived Sediment Supply Map in the Unified Forecast System (UFS)?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Mineral dust is an important part of the climate system we live in. Dust hotspots in deserts and arid regions emit tons of dust annually, influenced by local meteorology and soil characteristics. As one of the most abundant aerosols, it is important to characterize and define the climate and human impacts of dust.

Spatiotemporal Variation of Snow Cover in Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia, Based on Cloud-Free MODIS Fractional Snow Cover Product, 2001–2015

Remote Sensing, 2017
The change in snow cover under climate change is poorly understood in Tianshan Mountains. Here, we investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics and trends of snow-covered area (SCA) and snow-covered days (SCD) in the Tianshan Mountains by using the ...

The Arctic Boreal Burned Area (ABBA) Product

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
The Arctic Boreal Burned Area (ABBA) dataset improves wildfire mapping in high northern latitudes, capturing over 2 million km2 of burned area between 2002 and 2022 with 87.2% accuracy. Its enhanced detection of late‐season fires and reduced errors surpass global products, enabling better climate modelling and ecological impact assessments.
