Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Abstract Changes in the mountain cryosphere impact the water security of downstream
societies and the resilience of water-dependent ecosystems and their services. However …

In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the
spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming …

Clinical presentation, outcomes, and duration of COVID-19 has ranged dramatically. While
some individuals recover quickly, others suffer from persistent symptoms, collectively known …

Streamflow in high-mountain Asia is influenced by meltwater from snow and glaciers, and
determining impacts of climate change on the region's cryosphere is essential to understand …

Seasonal snow is an essential water resource in many mountain regions. However, the
spatio-temporal variability in mountain snow depth or snow water equivalent (SWE) at …

Seasonal snow cover is the largest single component of the cryosphere in areal extent,
covering an average of 46 million square km of Earth's surface (31% of the land area) each …

Monitoring snow depth is important for applications such as hydrology, energy planning,
ecology, and safety evaluation for outdoor winter activities. Most methods able to estimate …

Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) are well-established systems for flood
mapping, thanks to their high sensitivity towards water surfaces and their independence …

We present a new perspective on Earth's land surface, providing a normalised microwave
backscatter map from spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations. The …
