The Cantabrian-Fault case ▶     Fernández-Viejo Gabriela, López-Fernández Carlos, Domínguez-Cuesta María José et al.     The Cantabrian Fault is a long-lived crustal fault, 320 km long on land and extending more than 150 km seawards within the Bay of Biscay, which separates different geodynamic …             A mass-spring model unveils the morphogenesis of phototrophic Diatoma biofilms ▶     K. Celler, I. Hödl, A. Simone et al.     Diatoms often dominate planktonic communities in the ocean and phototrophic biofilms in streams and rivers, greatly contributing to global biogeochemical fluxes. In pelagic …             Artificial Weathering as a Function of CO2 Injection in Pahang Sandstone Malaysia: Investigation of Dissolution Rate in Surficial Condition ▶     Madjid Jalilavi, Mansoor Zoveidavianpoor, Farshid Attarhamed et al.     Formation of carbonate minerals by CO2 sequestration is a potential means to reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions. Vast amount of alkaline and alkali earth metals exist in silicate …             Short-Term Forecasting of Taiwanese Earthquakes Using a Universal Model of Fusion-Fission Processes ▶     Siew Ann Cheong, Teck Liang Tan, Chien-Chih Chen et al.     Predicting how large an earthquake can be, where and when it will strike remains an elusive goal in spite of the ever-increasing volume of data collected by earth scientists. In …             500-year climate cycles stacking of recent centennial warming documented in an East Asian pollen record ▶     Deke Xu, Houyuan Lu, Guoqiang Chu et al.     Here we presented a high-resolution 5350-year pollen record from a maar annually laminated lake in East Asia (EA). Pollen record reflected the dynamics of vertical vegetation …             Tsunami: Ocean dynamo generator ▶     Hiroko Sugioka, Yozo Hamano, Kiyoshi Baba et al.     Secondary magnetic fields are induced by the flow of electrically conducting seawater through the Earth's primary magnetic field (‘ocean dynamo effect’), and hence it has long …             Long-term intensive management increased carbon occluded in phytolith (PhytOC) in bamboo forest soils ▶     Zhang-ting Huang, Yong-fu Li, Pei-kun Jiang et al.     Carbon (C) occluded in phytolith (PhytOC) is highly stable at millennium scale and its accumulation in soils can help increase long-term C sequestration. Here, we report that soil …             Freezing period strongly impacts the emergence of a global consensus in the voter model ▶     Zhen Wang, Yi Liu, Lin Wang et al.     It is well known that human beings do not always change opinions or attitudes, since the duration of interaction with others usually has a significant impact on one's …             In situ environment rather than substrate type dictates microbial community structure of biofilms in a cold seep system ▶     On On Lee, Yong Wang, Renmao Tian et al.     Using microscopic and molecular techniques combined with computational analysis, this study examined the structure and composition of microbial communities in biofilms that formed …             Different suitability of improved irrigation channels as reproductive sites for Cyprininae and Silurus asotus ▶     Toshinori Funao, Takayoshi Nishida, Yoshimasa Kurashige et al.     Irrigation channels around paddy fields have been drastically improved over the past several decades in Japan. This has been accomplished exclusively by covering all the sides of …             Meridional variability of atmospheric convection associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole Mode ▶     Evan Weller, Wenju Cai     The Indian Ocean Dipole Mode (IODM) impacts many surrounding and remote regions of the Indian Ocean, with devastating floods over East Africa but severe droughts in countries …             Artificial photosynthesis of oxalate and oxalate-based polymer by a photovoltaic reactor ▶     Guangzai Nong, Shan Chen, Yuanjin Xu et al.     A photovoltaic reactor was designed for artificial photosynthesis, based on the reactions involved in high energy hydrogen atoms, which were produced from water electrolysis. …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Post Doctoral Fellow     The Wistar Institute            Post-doctoral researcher     University of Patras            PhD posititon - Immunology     University Hospital Erlangen            Postdoctoral Scientist     University of Oxford            PhD Student     Danish Cancer Society Research Center            Research Associate (Fixed Term)     University of Cambridge            Postdoctoral Fellow     University of Alberta            Postdoctoral Scientist     John Innes Centre            Open PhD position     KU Leuven            Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Michigan     University of Michigan          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
