Revisiting Snow Water Equivalent Bias in the Noah‐MP Land Surface Model in the Western U.S.

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Land surface models (LSMs) are widely used to generate snow records, forecasts, and projections that support water research and management. The complex sources of uncertainty in LSMs motivate evaluations to better understand bias characteristics and identify underlying causes that guide model development.

Assessing the catastrophic break-up of Briksdalsbreen, Norway, associated with rapid climate change

, 2011
Recent research has raised concerns about the potential influence of rapid climate change on the stability of major ice sheets. The behaviour of glaciers is determined largely by the processes and conditions operating at their base.

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.

Breakthrough in Measuring Snowfall Intensity With Hybrid Deep Learning and Surveillance Cameras

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Accurate snowfall measurements are vital for disaster mitigation, climate studies, and many other applications. Widely deployed surveillance cameras offer novel possibilities for fine‐scale snowfall observation. This paper proposes HySnowNet, a hybrid framework that first extracts snowflakes using physical frequency domain techniques, then ...

Radio-echo soundings on Icelandic temperate glaciers: history of techniques and findings [PDF]

, 2020
Publisher's version (útgefin grein)Since the mid-1970s radio-echo soundings have been conducted on Iceland's temperate glaciers. Since then, low-frequency radar technology has furthered the study of most of the island's ice caps. Their masses and volumes

Characterizing the subglacial environment of lower Thwaites Glacier using radar modeling

Journal of Glaciology
Understanding the spatial heterogeneity beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, is vital to projecting its impact on future sea levels. Radar-echo sounding (RES) is commonly used to infer subglacial conditions, but these data can be challenging to ...

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 ...

The Energy Balance Behind Glacier Retreat: A Regional Reconstruction for Western Canada (1980–2022)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Glacier mass loss has accelerated globally in recent decades, yet many regional and global glacier models still rely on temperature‐index melt approaches that limit physical realism and process attribution. Here, we apply a glacier evolution model incorporating a physically based surface energy balance (SEB) melt component to reconstruct ...

DJ4Earth: Differentiable, and Performance‐Portable Earth System Modeling via Program Transformations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Differentiable Earth system models (ESMs) enable powerful applications such as sensitivity analysis, gradient‐based calibration, state estimation, boundary flux inversions, uncertainty quantification, and online machine learning. Reverse‐mode automatic differentiation (AD) efficiently provides gradients for such tasks, yet models have rarely ...
