Assessing SWOT's Measurement Capabilities in the Complex Paraná River

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Estimating water surface elevation (WSE) is crucial for understanding hydrological processes; however, many rivers remain insufficiently monitored due to the limitations of in situ gauge networks. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar technology, enables global monitoring of WSE with high

Dam Regulation Moderates Climate‐Induced Rice Yield Loss in the Mekong‐Tonle Sap Lake System

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Rice, a principal global staple crop, is increasingly threatened by flooding under climate change, placing rice‐dependent economies at risk. Yet the capacity of human activities to mitigate inundation impacts on rice remains insufficiently quantified.

Detection of Interannual and Fine‐Scale Plate Coupling Variations Using Intraplate Earthquakes and Geodetic Data: Application to the Tohoku‐Oki Plate Boundary

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We propose a method to infer detailed spatiotemporal variations in interplate coupling by integrating geodetic and seismic data. It examines whether focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes occurring near the plate interface align with the stressing rates caused by a geodetically derived slip‐deficit rate model, evaluating deviations from a ...

Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar: Models, Focusing and Experiments [PDF]

, 2006
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a remote sensing technique that allows the generation of microwave images of the Earth surface, independently of weather condition and of sun illumination.

Intra‐Tessera Plains: Implications of Their Radar Properties for Surface Processes on Venus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Intra‐tessera plains are radar‐dark plains deposits that occur within tesserae. Their emplacement mechanism(s) and composition are poorly constrained, though they are hypothesized to be basaltic lava flows. Here, we map intra‐tessera plains within 16 different tesserae spanning various latitudes and elevations.

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for Monitoring Seasonal Snow

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) offers a potential pathway for measuring seasonal snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth at spatial and temporal scales needed for basin‐scale hydrology. First proposed for seasonal snow more than 25 years ago, InSAR uses repeat‐pass radar phase differences to estimate changes in SWE or ...

The Spatiotemporal Evolution of Creep on the Southern San Andreas Fault Between 2015–2021

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) in the Coachella Valley experiences shallow creep and slow slip events (SSE), which re‐distribute stresses in the seismogenic zone and affect the potential of future earthquakes. Although average creep rates are relatively well‐constrained, untangling the details of spatiotemporal variation in creep along ...

Synthetic aperture radar backscatter is influenced by bubbles at the ice/water interface of an Antarctic lake

Communications Earth & Environment
Synthetic aperture radar is an invaluable tool for monitoring lake ice. This study utilizes synthetic aperture radar to analyze the 2019-2023 backscatter time series of perennially ice-covered Lake Untersee in East Antarctica.

Decadal‐Scale Bathymetric Change in a Shallow Coastal Bay

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Coastal marshes and bays must accumulate sediment to maintain their position relative to mean sea level during periods of sea level rise (SLR). Resuspension of bay‐bottom sediment, which together with tidal inundation promotes marsh deposition, is sensitive to water depth, but quantitative measurements of bathymetric change across shallow bays

Surface‐State Controls on Dust Emission Variability in Lower Mesopotamia and Kuwait Using Field and Multi‐High‐Resolution Satellite Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Aeolian dust strongly influences climate, air quality, and biogeochemical cycles, yet identifying source areas and determining their surface‐state controls remain challenging. We focus on lower Mesopotamia and Kuwait, a globally significant dust source region where surface characteristics of dust sources remain poorly understood through ...
