    Description: Quantitative continental climate reconstructions covering the last glacial cycle from the Iberian Peninsula are scarce. In order to fill this gap, we obtained for the first time a high-resolution mean annual air temperature (MAAT) record based on the distribution of specific bacterial membrane lipids (i.e., branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers; brGDGTs) from the last 36.0–4.7 kyr palaeolake record recovered by the Padul-15-05 sedimentary core (Padul, Sierra Nevada, southern Iberia). The fractional abundance of the three major groups of GDGTs present in the Padul sediments, GDGT-0, crenarchaeol and the summed brGDGTs, is comparable with that of other shallow and small (〈10 km2) European lakes. Despite variations in the lithology in the studied section, the GDGT composition remains relatively stable, except for the uppermost 116 cm of the record, representing the ephemeral/emerged lake stage, which is characterized by higher crenarchaeol fractional abundances. The identification of a specific brGDGT that has only been detected in anoxic lakes provides evidence for in-situ brGDGT production in the water column and/or sediments in the Padul palaeolake. Its presence/absence probably denotes a succession of periods with a variable oxygen content in the bottom waters of the palaeolake. MAAT was reconstructed based on the distribution of brGDGTs using an African lake calibration and ranged between 12 and 20 °C. A new Bayesian calibration to mean temperature of Months Above Freezing (MAF) depicts similar temperature variations with a mean absolute difference of 0.7 °C. The MAAT reconstruction in the Padul palaeolake for the 36.0–4.7 kyr period reveals similarities with climate variability described at high-latitudes and in the westernmost Mediterranean area during this interval, showing cold conditions during the last three Heinrich Stadials and the Younger Dryas and warm conditions during the Dansgaard–Oeschger interstadials (7–1) and the Bölling-Alleröd period. Despite the more stable and warm general climate conditions during the Early and Mid-Holocene, rapid centennial-scale temperature changes are registered in the Padul palaeolake in good agreement with variations observed in the Mediterranean forest record.

    Description: Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are an increasing threat to Patagonian environments and communities. Here, we investigate the geomorphological and hydrological impacts of a historical GLOF from Chile's third largest river (Pascua River), which discharges at the head of Baker Fjord (48°S). To do so, historical maps and satellite imagery of the past century and recent bathymetric data were examined, and a 1.4 m long sediment core taken ~4 km offshore of the Pascua River mouth was analyzed. Geomorphological data suggest that the two main subaerial river channels of the fjord-head delta extend subaqueously as submarine channels. The sediment core was taken on the flank of the largest submarine channel to evaluate changes in channel activity through time. Results show that the sediments are composed of two distinct units separated by a 6-cm thick sandy turbidite dated CE. Historical evidence suggests that the event deposit corresponds to a ~ 256 × 106 m3 GLOF from the proglacial lake of Lucía Glacier (Bergues Lake) that discharged into Pascua River. Before CE, sedimentation at the coring site consisted of coarse silt and fine sand, likely representing sediment deposition from turbidity currents. After CE, sedimentation consisted of very fine silts and clays, likely representing settling from the surficial sediment plume. This switch in submarine channel activity corresponds in timing to the abandonment of the eastern distributary channel of Pascua River and likely represents a reorganization of the hydrology of the fjord-river system caused by the CE GLOF. This study provides the first report of a GLOF from the northeastern part of the Southern Patagonian Icefield, and it demonstrates that GLOFs can have long-lasting impacts on the hydrology of downstream fjord-river systems.

    Description: Major achievements The feedback provided by potential users on their needs was very much appreciated. They underlined the importance of having: ● an easy to deploy instrument (i.e.: from small fishing boats); ● multi-parameter sensors in ONE device; ● less maintenance effort and prioritized the variables to measure. Although, there are technical limitations and different solutions and there is no one tool that can do everything, which is low cost, has high resolution and low maintenance, the outcomes of the platforms/sensors/communications working group meet the main requirements that emerged. Priority was given to: ● a platform that will operate in drifter mode which is extremely easy to deploy and perfect for studies associated with search and rescue operations (another need that has emerged). It also constantly guarantees the knowledge of the instrument position. The platform can be easily converted into the moored mode. ● temperature and pressure sensors. The sensors will be low -cost with the idea to replace them rather than calibrate them; ● LoRaWAN communications preferably with Bluetooth integration for the in-situ download of the data.

Inter-annual decrease in pulse rate and peak frequency of Southeast Pacific blue whale song types. Scientific Reports, 10(1), (2020): 8121, doi:10.1038/s41598-020-64613-0.
    Description: A decrease in the frequency of two southeast Pacific blue whale song types was examined over decades, using acoustic data from several different sources in the eastern Pacific Ocean ranging between the Equator and Chilean Patagonia. The pulse rate of the song units as well as their peak frequency were measured using two different methods (summed auto-correlation and Fourier transform). The sources of error associated with each measurement were assessed. There was a linear decline in both parameters for the more common song type (southeast Pacific song type n.2) between 1997 to 2017. An abbreviated analysis, also showed a frequency decline in the scarcer southeast Pacific song type n.1 between 1970 to 2014, revealing that both song types are declining at similar rates. We discussed the use of measuring both pulse rate and peak frequency to examine the frequency decline. Finally, a comparison of the rates of frequency decline with other song types reported in the literature and a discussion on the reasons of the frequency shift are presented.

    Description: Between the land and ocean, diverse coastal ecosystems transform, store, and transport material. Across these interfaces, the dynamic exchange of energy and matter is driven by hydrological and hydrodynamic processes such as river and groundwater discharge, tides, waves, and storms. These dynamics regulate ecosystem functions and Earth’s climate, yet global models lack representation of coastal processes and related feedbacks, impeding their predictions of coastal and global responses to change. Here, we assess existing coastal monitoring networks and regional models, existing challenges in these efforts, and recommend a path towards development of global models that more robustly reflect the coastal interface.

    Description: How major crustal-scale seismogenic faults nucleate and evolve in crystalline basements represents a long-standing, but poorly understood, issue in structural geology and fault mechanics. Here, we address the spatio-temporal evolution of the Bolfin Fault Zone (BFZ), a 〉40-km-long exhumed seismogenic splay fault of the 1000-km-long strike-slip Atacama Fault System. The BFZ has a sinuous fault trace across the Mesozoic magmatic arc of the Coastal Cordillera (Northern Chile) and formed during the oblique subduction of the Aluk plate beneath the South American plate. Seismic faulting occurred at 5-7 km depth and ≤ 300°C in a fluid-rich environment as recorded by extensive propylitic alteration and epidote-chlorite veining. Ancient (125-118 Ma) seismicity is attested by the widespread occurrence of pseudotachylytes. Field geologic surveys indicate nucleation of the BFZ on precursory geometrical anisotropies represented by magmatic foliation of plutons (northern and central segments) and andesitic dyke swarms (southern segment) within the heterogeneous crystalline basement. Seismic faulting exploited the segments of precursory anisotropies that were optimal to favorably oriented with respect to the long-term far-stress field associated with the oblique ancient subduction. The large-scale sinuous geometry of the BFZ resulted from the hard linkage of these anisotropy-pinned segments during fault growth.

    Description: Tectonic pseudotachylytes are thought to be unique to certain water-deficient seismogenic environments and their presence is considered to be rare in the geological record. Here, we present field and experimental evidence that frictional melting can occur in hydrothermal fluid-rich faults hosted in the continental crust. Pseudotachylytes were found in the 〉40 km-long Bolfín Fault Zone of the Atacama Fault System, within two ca. 1 m-thick (ultra)cataclastic strands hosted in a damage-zone made of chlorite-epidote-rich hydrothermally altered tonalite. This alteration state indicates that hydrothermal fluids were active during the fault development. Pseudotachylytes, characterized by presenting amygdales, cut and are cut by chlorite-, epidote- and calcite-bearing veins. In turn, crosscutting relationship with the hydrothermal veins indicates pseudotachylytes were formed during this period of fluid activity. Rotary shear experiments conducted on bare surfaces of hydrothermally altered rocks at seismic slip velocities (3 m s-1) resulted in the production of vesiculated pseudotachylytes both at dry and water-pressurized conditions, with melt lubrication as the primary mechanism for fault dynamic weakening. The presented evidence challenges the common hypothesis that pseudotachylytes are limited to fluid-deficient environments, and gives insights into the ancient seismic activity of the system. Both field observations and experimental evidence, indicate that pseudotachylytes may easily be produced in hydrothermal environments, and could be a common co-seismic fault product. Consequently, melt lubrication could be considered one of the most efficient seismic dynamic weakening mechanisms in crystalline basement rocks of the continental crust.

    Description: Biological invasions have been occurring at a faster pace as a result of anthropic actions. At the same time, climate change can increase invasion rates, and also favor invading organisms. One of the predictions for climate change is the increase in periods of drought, in some regions of the planet. In this way, environments that suffer from these disorders become more susceptible to invasion by aquatic plants, especially those that are adapted to different types of habitats. Within this context, the objectives were: (i) to determine the response of a native species (Hymenachne pernambucensis) and another invasive species (Urochloa arrecta) to extreme drought, and (ii) to test whether the interspecific competition between them is affected by stress caused by drought. An in situ experiment was carried out, in which the biomass and the length of the species were different for different levels of drought, in which the invasive species was superior to the native species. However, the intensity of relative competition had only different aerial biomass between species, but in this case the invasive species showed a preference for growth in monoculture than in polyculture. It was concluded, then, that the invasive species U. arrecta has greater resilience to droughts than the native species H. pernambucensis. However, the native species showed greater competitive ability. These results may explain the high dominance of this invasive species in the invaded sites, due to its better resistance to disturbances. In the same way, it demonstrates that native species can reduce the invasion rates of this species, considering that it does not grow well in the presence of neighbors.
    Description: Invasões biológicas vêm ocorrendo em um ritmo mais acelerado como resultado de ações antrópicas. Simultaneamente, as mudanças climáticas podem potencializar as taxas de invasão, e ainda favorecer organismos invasores. Uma das previsões para as mudanças climáticas é o aumento dos períodos de seca, em algumas regiões do planeta. Desta forma, ambientes que sofrem esses distúrbios se tornam mais suscetíveis à invasão por plantas aquáticas, em especial por aquelas que estão adaptadas a diversos tipos de habitats. Dentro deste contexto, os objetivos foram de: (i) determinar a resposta de uma espécie nativa (Hymenachne pernambucensis) e outra invasora (Urochloa arrecta) a uma seca extrema, e (ii) testar se a competição interespecífica entre ambas é afetada pelo estresse provocado pela seca. Foi realizado um experimento in situ, no qual a biomassa e o comprimento das espécies foram diferentes para diferentes níveis de seca, em que a espécie invasora foi superior a espécie nativa. Porém, a intensidade de competição relativa teve apenas a biomassa aérea diferente entre as espécies, mas nesse caso a espécie invasora demonstrou preferência por crescimento em monocultura do que em policultura. Concluiu-se, então, que a espécie invasora U. arrecta apresenta maior resiliência a secas do que a espécie nativa H. pernambucensis. Porém, a espécie nativa demonstrou maior habilidade competitiva. Esses resultados podem explicar a alta dominância dessa espécie invasora nos locais invadidos, devido a esta resistir melhor aos distúrbios. De mesmo modo, demonstra que espécies nativas podem reduzir as taxas de invasão dessa espécie, tendo em vista que ela não cresce bem na presença de vizinhos.
