Here, we constructed national-scale inorganic …             Fine-scale nutrient and carbonate system dynamics around cold-water coral reefs in the northeast Atlantic ▶     Helen S. Findlay, Sebastian J. Hennige, Laura C. Wicks et al.     Ocean acidification has been suggested as a serious threat to the future existence of cold-water corals (CWC). However, there are few fine-scale temporal and spatial datasets of …             A new simple concept for ocean colour remote sensing using parallel polarisation radiance ▶     Xianqiang He, Delu Pan, Yan Bai et al.     Ocean colour remote sensing has supported research on subjects ranging from marine ecosystems to climate change for almost 35 years. However, as the framework for ocean colour …             GPS source solution of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake ▶     N. Houlié, D. Dreger, A. Kim     We compute a series of finite-source parameter inversions of the fault rupture of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake based on 1 Hz GPS records only. We confirm that some of the …             Selenite reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is mediated by fumarate reductase in periplasm ▶     Dao-Bo Li, Yuan-Yuan Cheng, Chao Wu et al.     In situ reduction of selenite to elemental selenium (Se(0)), by microorganisms in sediments and soils is an important process and greatly affects the environmental distribution …             Drought impacts on children's respiratory health in the Brazilian Amazon ▶     Lauren T. Smith, Luiz E. O. C. Aragão, Clive E. Sabel et al.     Drought conditions in Amazonia are associated with increased fire incidence, enhancing aerosol emissions with degradation in air quality. Quantifying the synergic influence of …             Mysterious abrupt carbon-14 increase in coral contributed by a comet ▶     Yi Liu, Zhao-feng Zhang, Zi-cheng Peng et al.     A large and sudden increase in radiocarbon (14C) around AD 773 are documented in coral skeletons from the South China Sea. The 14C increased by ~ 15‰ during winter, and remain …             Initial flux of sediment-associated radiocesium to the ocean from the largest river impacted by Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant ▶     Yosuke Yamashiki, Yuichi Onda, Hugh G. Smith et al.     This study aimed to quantify the flux of radiocesium in the Abukuma Basin (5,172 km2), the largest river system affected by fallout from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant …             Wastewater Treatment Plants as Chemical Observatories to Forecast Ecological and Human Health Risks of Manmade Chemicals ▶     Arjun K. Venkatesan, Rolf U. Halden     Thousands of chemicals have been identified as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), but prioritizing them concerning ecological and human health risks is challenging. We …             ERRATUM: Enhanced Adaptive Management: Integrating Decision Analysis, Scenario Analysis and Environmental Modeling for the Everglades ▶     Matteo Convertino, Christy M. Foran, Jeffrey M. Keisler et al.                 Projected impacts of climate change on farmers' extraction of groundwater from crystalline aquifers in South India ▶     Sylvain Ferrant, Yvan Caballero, Jérome Perrin et al.     Local groundwater levels in South India are falling alarmingly. In the semi-arid crystalline Deccan plateau area, agricultural production relies on groundwater resources. …             Epidemic cholera spreads like wildfire ▶     Manojit Roy, Richard D. Zinck, Menno J. Bouma et al.     Cholera is on the rise globally, especially epidemic cholera which is characterized by intermittent and unpredictable outbreaks that punctuate periods of regional disease …             Constant diurnal temperature regime alters the impact of simulated climate warming on a tropical pseudoscorpion ▶     Jeanne A. Zeh, Melvin M. Bonilla, Eleanor J. Su et al.     Recent theory suggests that global warming may be catastrophic for tropical ectotherms. Although most studies addressing temperature effects in ectotherms utilize constant …             Increasing active biomass carbon may lead to a breakdown of mature forest equilibrium ▶     Yin Xiao, Guoyi Zhou, Qianmei Zhang et al.     The finding that mature forest ecosystems increase carbon in woody tissues and mineral soils indicates that the original equilibriums are being pushed to a higher state. The final …             Double blanket effect caused by two layers of black carbon aerosols escalates warming in the Brahmaputra River Valley ▶     P. R. C. Rahul, R. L. Bhawar, D. C. Ayantika et al.     First ever 3-day aircraft observations of vertical profiles of Black Carbon (BC) were obtained during the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment …             Magnetic and structural transitions of SrFe2As2 at high pressure and low temperature ▶     J. J. Wu, J. F. Lin, X. C. Wang et al.     One of key issues in studying iron based superconductors is to understand how the magnetic phase of the parent compounds evolves. Here we report the systematic investigation of …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Scholar     University of California San Francisco (UCSF)            Postdoctoral Researcher     University of Oxford            Research Associate     Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR)            Postdoctoral Fellowship     Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle épinière (ICM)            PostDoc     Institut für Ostseeforschung            PhD Student     Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine            Postdoctoral Fellow     Children's Hosp Phila/University of PA            PhD position     Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique            Postdoctoral Research Scientist     Ohio State University            Research Associate     King's College London          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.
