TL;DR: In this article, a combination of validated remotely-sensed climate parameters was used to characterize the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall, snowfall, and evapotranspiration in order to quantify their relative contribution to mean river discharge.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of remotely sensed frontal changes and surface velocities from glaciers in the greater Himalaya between 2000 and 2008 shows large regional variability in the responses of Himalayan glaciers to climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of topography and relief on rainfall generation and resultant erosion was investigated using satellite rainfall amounts for the last 8 years (1998-2005) from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors fused high-spatial resolution hyperspectral imagery with 22 pulse/m 2 lidar data at the individual crown object scale to map 29 common tree species in Santa Barbara, California, USA.

TL;DR: The history of the southern central Andes, including the world's second largest plateau and adjacent intermontane basins and ranges of the Eastern Cordillera and the northern Sierras Pampeanas of Argentina and Bolivia, impressively documents the effects of tectonics and topography on atmospheric circulation patterns, the development of orographic barriers, and their influence on erosion and landscape evolution at various timescales as discussed by the authors.
