O Levee, Where Art Thou? Measuring the Abundance of Natural River Levees Across the Contiguous USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Most—if not all—alluvial rivers experience overbank floods. On some rivers, these floods form natural levees, whereas on others they do not. Existing theories for how levees form on riverbanks rely on the physics of sediment transport across the channel margin, but applying them to real rivers does not yield good predictions of why one river ...

A stationary impulse-radar system for autonomous deployment in cold and temperate environments

Annals of Glaciology, 2020
Stationary ice-penetrating radar (sIPR) systems can be used to monitor temporal changes in electromagnetically sensitive properties of glaciers and ice sheets.

Inland thinning of the Amundsen Sea sector, West Antarctica [PDF]

, 2002
[1] Together with the Pine Island glacier (PIG), the Thwaites (TG) and Smith (SG) glaciers are the principal drainage systems of the Amundsen Sea (AS) sector of Western Antarctica.

Testing Nodal Point Relations by Tracking Sediment Through a Bifurcation on the Jefferson River, MT, USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract River bifurcations control water and sediment distribution in fluvial systems, but the physical mechanisms governing sediment partitioning remain poorly validated in natural rivers. We present a comprehensive field test of nodal point relations using radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking of 376 gravel clasts through a meandering river

Historical surface mass balance from a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar survey from Zhongshan station to Dome A

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Using frequency-modulated continuous wave radar data from the 32nd Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition in 2015/16, subsurface profiles were obtained along an East Antarctic inland traverse from Zhongshan station to Dome A, and four distinct regions ...

Quantifying Seasonal Deformation Signals Using InSAR and Groundwater Models in the Mississippi River Delta, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Seasonal land motion can be caused by processes above or below Earth's surface, often linked to natural changes in the hydrological cycle. In coastal deltaic systems, the coupling of water level changes between rivers and aquifers may cause significant surface deformation, but this process is poorly understood.

Unravelling the evolution of the Frébouge polygenetic cone in Val Ferret (Mont Blanc Massif)

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 454-475, April 2026.
Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield high volumes of sediments, which usually exceed their transportation capacity.

Resolving radiostratigraphy with squinted synthetic aperture radar focusing

Journal of Glaciology
Englacial layers are a product of historic accumulation and are reshaped by ice deformation. Hence, radio-echo sounding (RES), which can resolve englacial layering, has been adopted as an observational tool to infer ice age and ice dynamics from ice ...

Glacier‐Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High‐Mountain Regions ‐ A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Mountain glaciers are among the natural systems most vulnerable to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large‐scale ...
