Characterizing subsurface water and ice evolutions on planetary and earth’s arid environments is one of the most interdisciplinary topics in geosciences. The below list of research manuscripts reflects this diversity with publications in Earth and Planetary Sciences journals and those in astronomy and engineering revues. The list below includes 114 original papers, four books, two theses written (Master & PhD), 30 extended peer-reviewed proceedings, and more than 200 abstracts in international conferences.
