  1. Baranof Island glaciers persisted into the Holocene and then retreated rapidly
    Cosmogenic dating and sediment cores reveal glacial history of Baranof Island and document tenfold acceleration in glacier retreat since 1986, with implications for sea-level rise.
  2. Reference data package supports evaluation of sea ice altimetry
    A standardized collection of sea ice measurements from 1993–2024 enables validation of satellite altimetry thickness products across both polar regions at matching spatial and temporal scales.
  3. Landfalling South Pacific atmospheric rivers are projected to intensify
    Study projects atmospheric river frequency to double over South Pacific by mid-century, with robust trends emerging within 10-20 years first affecting southern New Zealand and Tasmania.
  4. Global glacial lakes store more water but vary widely in longevity
    Study quantifies 71,000 glacial lakes globally, estimating 2,048 km³ of freshwater storage in 2020 and tracking changes since 1990 across high-mountain regions.
  5. Bias-corrected Greenland accumulation maps align more closely with observations
    A statistical method corrects biases in Greenland ice sheet snow accumulation estimates from climate models, reducing uncertainties in sea-level rise projections.
  6. Warming scenario increases rain-on-snow events in Gallatin watershed
    SnowModel simulations project increased rain-on-snow events in the upper Gallatin River watershed, with significant hydrologic implications for streamflow and aquatic ecosystems under future.
  7. Sentinel-2 classifies Yellow River ice types with high accuracy
    Sentinel-2 remote sensing classifies Yellow River ice types with 94.91% accuracy using support vector machine algorithm, enabling operational monitoring for water resource and hazard management in.
