Sinningia pampeana sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) from the Pampa's rocky outcrops in southern Brazil and Uruguay

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Sinningia pampeana is a new rupicolous species from the rocky outcrops of the Pampa biome in southern Brazil and Uruguay. Morphological analyses based on herbarium material, field observations, and detailed illustrations support its recognition as a distinct species from Sinningia sellovii.

Two new endemic species of Portulaca (Portulacaceae) from the Brazilian Pampa grasslands

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca L. is a monophyletic, cosmopolitan genus of succulent plants comprising ca 153 species, with particularly high diversity in xerophytic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on morphological evidence, we describe and illustrate two new species from the Brazilian Pampa, Portulaca guaritensis and Portulaca guenoa.

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

Periglacial Puzzles: Unravelling Environmental Controls on Alpine Solifluction Lobe Dimensions and Shape

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe
