Evolution of Global and Regional Water Storage and Water Fluxes Under Climate Change: Past, Present, and Future
Excited to share our latest article collection focusing on one of the most critical challenges of our time – understanding how climate change is transforming our planet’s water systems! 💧
Climate change is fundamentally altering the global hydrological cycle, with extreme events like floods, droughts, and heatwaves increasing in both frequency and magnitude over the past three decades. 🌡️ 🌊 🏜️
Led by Ehsan Forootan, Vagner Ferreira, Luca Brocca, Yu Zhang, and C K Shum, this collection integrates cutting-edge research using:
• Gravity missions like GRACE/GRACE-FO measuring Earth’s water storage variations 🛰️
• High-resolution imagery from Sentinel-2 and the historic Landsat series 📸
• Radar technology from Sentinel-1 and other SAR missions for all-weather monitoring 📡
• Specialized sensors like SMAP for crucial soil moisture data 🌱
• Revolutionary new missions like SWOT providing unprecedented observations of Earth’s surface water 💦
