Water resources are critical to the sustainability of life on Earth. With a growing population
and climate change, it is imperative to assess the security of these resources. Over the past …

In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress
achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology …

Abstract Clean Water and Sanitation, the sixth goal of Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs 6) is a call for action by the United Nations aiming at balancing the water cycle for …

Remote sensing of river discharge (RSQ) is a burgeoning field rife with innovation. This
innovation has resulted in a highly non-cohesive subfield of hydrology advancing at a rapid …

The ability to map floods from satellites has been known for over 40 years. Early images of
floods were rather difficult to obtain, and flood mapping from satellites was thus rather …

River monitoring is an open issue due to many intrinsic problems of the ground monitoring
network. Over the last few decades, the role of satellite sensors in river discharge estimation …

Climate change is profoundly affecting the global water cycle, increasing the likelihood and
severity of extreme water-related events. Better decision-support systems are vital to …

The beginning of the 21st century is marked by a rapid growth of land surface satellite data
and model sophistication. This offers new opportunities to estimate multiple components of …

River water surface slopes (WSS) can improve the performance of rating curves for
discharge estimates and provides information about river hydraulic processes and …

Advances in geodetic altimetry instruments are providing more accurate measurements,
thus enabling satellite missions to produce useful data for narrow rivers and streams …
