Forest fires under the lens: needleleaf index - a novel tool for satellite image analysis by Afshin Amiri, Keyvan Soltani, Silvio Jose Gumiere, Hossein Bonakdari

“…Our analysis revealed that 25% of the total area of coniferous forests burned over the past two decades was destroyed in the 2023 wildfires. Remotely sensed observations showed that the coniferous forest area in the 2018–2023 period increased by 5.62% compared with the 1984–1991 period and decreased by 4.85% since its peak in 1992–2001. …”

Dealing with hydrologic data scarcity: the case of the Tindouf basin by Gonçalvès, Julio, Nutz, Alexis, Séraphin, Pierre, Chekireb, Amine, Kabiri, Lahcen, Deschamps, Pierre

“…This study proposes a first conceptual model for the hydrogeological functioning of the Tindouf Aquifer System (TAS) building upon geomorphological, geological and hydrological remotely sensed and ground observations. Exploratory sketches of the piezometric contours for the main aquifers of the TAS identified (i) recharge areas on the Anti-Atlas relief and the Hamada plateau, (ii) and discharge areas mainly located in the southeastern region where countless salt pans associated with groundwater evaporation were observed. …”

Accelerated Permafrost Thaw Linked to Rising River Temperature and Widening Channels by Yi Zhao, Dongfeng Li

“…Abstract River‐controlled permafrost dynamics are crucial for sediment transport, infrastructure stability, and carbon cycle, yet are not well understood under climate change. Leveraging remotely sensed datasets, in‐situ hydrological observations, and physics‐based models, we reveal overall warming and widening rivers across the Tibetan Plateau in recent decades, driving accelerated sub‐river permafrost thaw. …”
