Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

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 ...

Can Flash Flood Risk Index Be an Early Warning Signal of Flash Floods in Ungauged Basin?
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Flash flooding is amongst the most severe natural hazards, causing widespread socioeconomic impacts across both wet regions and drylands. In ungauged mountainous basins, effective risk warning based on hydrodynamic modelling is challenging due to sparse hydrological observations and complex terrain.
