Advancing Near‐Real‐Time Flood Inundation Mapping in Australia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Floods are the second‐most deadly natural hazard in Australia, following heatwaves. Monitoring flood extent and depth in near real‐time (NRT) is crucial to minimize loss of life and socio‐economic impacts. This study leverages advanced computing, data management systems, and high‐quality data, including river gauge data APIs and Australian ...

Evaluating SWOT in the Coastal Zone: Comparisons With Tide Gauge and Airborne LiDAR in the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary, UK

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Traditional nadir altimeters struggle with coastal water surface elevation (WSE) measurement and fine‐scale river‐estuary interactions, due to land‐water signal interference and their wide inter‐track spacing. The wide‐swath Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, using a new Ka‐band radar interferometer, aims to address these ...

Wide‐Swath Satellite Altimetry Data Improves Modeled Mesoscale and Submesoscale Dynamics in a Western Boundary Current

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Ocean state estimates that represent mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics are crucial for climate research and ocean forecasting. Accurate submesoscale representation in ocean models is a current challenge due to rapidly evolving flow and lack of observations at suitable scales.

River monitoring from satellite radar altimetry in the Zambezi River basin [PDF]

, 2012
Satellite radar altimetry can be used to monitor surface water levels from space. While current and past altimetry missions were designed to study oceans, retracking the waveforms returned over land allows data to be retrieved for smaller water bodies or

Spaceborne Canopy Height Products Should Be Complemented With Airborne Laser Scanning Data: Toward a European Canopy Height Model

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Measuring and mapping vegetation structure is essential for understanding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and for informing environmental policies. Recent years have seen a growing demand for high‐resolution data on vegetation structure, driving their prediction at fine resolutions (1–30 m) at state, continental, and global spatial ...

Block-Circulant Approximation of the Precision Matrix for Assimilating SWOT Altimetry Data

Remote Sensing
The recently deployed Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission for the first time has observed the ocean surface at a spatial resolution of 1 km, thus giving an opportunity to directly monitor submesoscale sea surface height (SSH) variations ...
