Observation of surface water is a functional requirement for studying ecological and
hydrological processes. Recent advances in satellite‐based optical remote sensors have …

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 …

The turbulent surfaces of rivers and streams are natural hotspots of biogeochemical
exchange with the atmosphere. At the global scale, the total river-atmosphere flux of trace …

Arctic rivers drain~ 15% of the global land surface and significantly influence local
communities and economies, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and global climate …

Water resources management (WRM) for sustainable development presents many
challenges in areas with sparse in situ monitoring networks. The exponential growth of …

Spatiotemporally continuous global river discharge estimates across the full spectrum of
stream orders are vital to a range of hydrologic applications, yet they remain poorly …

Surface water storage and fluxes in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands are currently
poorly observed at the global scale, even though they represent major components of the …

Many of the scientific and societal challenges in understanding and preparing for global
environmental change rest upon our ability to understand and predict the water cycle …

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will vastly expand
measurements of global rivers, providing critical new data sets for both gaged and ungaged …

Recently, deep learning (DL) has emerged as a revolutionary and versatile tool transforming
industry applications and generating new and improved capabilities for scientific discovery …
