Uncovering the Ground Thermal Regime of Coastal Labrador: The Influential Effects of Snow and Vegetation on Ground Temperatures
The ground thermal regime of Arctic and Subarctic regions is impacted by climate and local scale factors. Snow cover has been linked to differences in ground temperatures over short distances (< 5 m) because of its thermal buffering properties which slows energy exchanges between the ground and …

Preferential and Non-Darcy Flows in the Hyporheic Zone: Surface Water-Groundwater Hydraulics and Effects on Stream Functions
… by maximizing K (flow-limited function) and thermal heterogeneity increased with K, particularly above K=10-5 m/s. Results suggest that using CFD to predict surface water-groundwater interaction may be important to accurately predict hyporheic hydraulics and functions dependent on flow-rate …

Snakes as predators of bird nests: now and in a warming world
… in forest and forest edge habitats due to the thermal heterogeneity of forests buffering snakes against potentially lethal environmental temperatures. If ratsnakes become more concentrated in small forest patches and edges, nest survival in these patches may fall below a sustainable level. …
