Remote Sensing Hydrology Revisited: Advances, Persistent Challenges, and a Science‐Driven Agenda for the Next Decade

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In the WRR 50th Anniversary Special Collection, Lettenmaier et al. (2015, https://doi.org/10.1002/2015WR017616) provided a timely account of how satellite remote sensing evolved from a niche capability in hydrology into a mainstream driver of hydrologic discovery, as the community shifted from imagery toward validated Earth Observation (EO ...

Beyond SMAP: Can GNSS‐R Platforms Ensure Continuity of Global Soil Moisture Observations?

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The absence of a definitive follow‐on strategy for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, which has already surpassed its planned mission lifetime, presents a significant challenge for the hydrological science community. GNSS‐Reflectometry (GNSS‐R), which exploits reflected satellite navigation signals, has emerged as a rapidly ...

Floods From Space: How Remote Sensing, AI, and Cloud Platforms Are Reshaping Disaster Risk Reduction

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most damaging climate‐related hazards globally, yet flood remote sensing has historically developed largely along sensor‐specific pathways. This review addresses the need for a systematic and decision‐oriented synthesis of how space‐borne remote sensing has evolved toward integrated flood monitoring and disaster ...

Normalized Regime Persistence: A Simple Metric to Diagnose Land Feedback States

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Land feedbacks regulate energy flux partitioning and hydroclimatic extremes, yet their global characterization remains constrained by global‐scale robust flux estimates. Here, we introduce a new observation‐driven metric that circumvents multi‐variate flux dependencies by characterizing land feedback states using satellite‐derived soil ...
