High-resolution spatio-temporal variability of surface albedo on the glaciers of Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island (2018–2025): controls by snow metamorphism, surface impurities and terrain roughness

Two Decades of Optical and Thermal Variability in Lake Nasser: A Multi-Variable MODIS Assessment on a 5 km Analysis Grid (2005–2025)

Multi-decadal trajectories of large arid-zone reservoirs are seldom described by integrated satellite observation. This study characterises the optical and thermal variability of Lake Nasser, Egypt, over 2005–2025. Eight monthly MODIS indicators—NDVI, EVI, NDWI, NDTI, a near-infrared reflectance index, white-sky albedo...

Impact of oceanic and atmospheric variability on the annual ice dynamics of the Shirase Glacier (2014–2024), East Antarctica

Event Reconstruction and Hydroclimatic–Cryospheric Context of the 2018 Badswat Debris Flow–River Blockage, Pakistan

High Mountain Asia is undergoing rapid warming, with consequences for snow, ground thermal conditions, runoff, sediment availability, and water-related mass-movement hazards. This study combines watershed-scale hydroclimatic and cryospheric diagnostics with an event-scale reconstruction of the 17 July 2018 Badswat debr...

Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Surface Water Extent in Lake Haramaya, Ethiopia Using Multi-Sensor Satellite Data (1990–2024)

Lake Haramaya, one of the most important freshwater lakes in eastern Ethiopia, has been severely degraded in recent decades due to a combination of climate variability, recurrent drought, increasing water abstraction, rapid population growth and unsustainable land-use practices. This study examines the significant fluc...

Variability of internal snow properties over Antarctic late summer sea ice on different spatial scales

Snow on Antarctic sea ice strongly affects thermodynamic processes, sea ice mass balance, and microwave remote sensing, yet its spatial variability and characteristic length scales remain poorly quantified. The aim of this study is to provide a spatially extensive, layer-resolved characterization of Antarctic late-summ...

YRD1km: A 1-km Hourly High-Resolution Regional Reanalysis Dataset over the Yangtze River Delta with Emphasis on Thermodynamic Structure

High-resolution atmospheric thermodynamic information is essential for resolving localized weather processes in complex urbanized regions such as the Yangtze River Delta (YRD). However, existing global reanalysis products are limited by coarse spatial resolution, constraining their ability to represent fine-scale the...
