Focus on gender equity in astronomy
The June issue of Nature Astronomy includes a Focus on gender equity in astronomy, as data show that female astronomers face discrimination at all stages of their careers. A variety of articles explore the different manifestations of discrimination within our community.

For people and planet p463 doi:10.1038/ngeo2987 The emerging field of geohealth links human well-being and ecosystem health. A deeper understanding of these linkages can help society mitigate the health costs of economic growth before they become crises. |

Biodiversity loss from deep-sea mining pp464 - 465 C. L. Van Dover, J. A. Ardron, E. Escobar, M. Gianni, K. M. Gjerde et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2983 |

Climate change narratives pp466 - 468 Richard D. Pancost doi:10.1038/ngeo2981 Reconstructions of Earth's past are much more than benchmarks for climate models. They also help us comprehend risk by providing concrete narratives for diverse climates. |

The deep atmosphere of Venus and the possible role of density-driven separation of CO2 and N2 pp473 - 477 Sebastien Lebonnois & Gerald Schubert doi:10.1038/ngeo2971 The only temperature profile of the lowermost Venusian atmosphere appears unstable. Compositional heterogeneity due to density-driven separation of N2 from CO2 gas in the lower atmosphere of Venus may be a viable explanation. |

Causes of differences in model and satellite tropospheric warming rates pp478 - 485 Benjamin D. Santer, John C. Fyfe, Giuliana Pallotta, Gregory M. Flato, Gerald A. Meehl et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2973 Over the early twenty-first century, model-derived warming trends exceeded observed warming. Analyses of global-mean tropospheric temperature suggest that these differences are likely to stem from missing external influences in the models. |

Top-of-atmosphere radiative forcing affected by brown carbon in the upper troposphere pp486 - 489 Yuzhong Zhang, Haviland Forrister, Jiumeng Liu, Jack Dibb, Bruce Anderson et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2960 Brown carbon absorbs light, but its climate impacts in the upper troposphere are not well known. A series of aircraft observations in the US reveals that convection lofts brown carbon to high altitudes, causing greater warming than at lower altitudes. |
|
Transition from high- to low-NOx control of night-time oxidation in the southeastern US pp490 - 495 P. M. Edwards, K. C. Aikin, W. P. Dube, J. L. Fry, J. B. Gilman et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2976 The influence of NOx levels at night on atmospheric oxidation is unclear. Analyses of aircraft observations suggest that night-time oxidation is transitioning from a high- to low-NOx regime in the southeast US due to declines in NOx levels. |

Hotspots of soil N2O emission enhanced through water absorption by plant residue pp496 - 500 A. N. Kravchenko, E. R. Toosi, A. K. Guber, N. E. Ostrom, J. Yu et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2963 Production of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide occurs episodically in small soil volumes. Soil microcosm experiments reveal that water absorption by plant residue raises moisture levels and accelerates nitrous oxide production by microbial denitrification. |
|
Substantial inorganic carbon sink in closed drainage basins globally pp501 - 506 Yu Li, Chengqi Zhang, Naiang Wang, Qin Han, Xinzhong Zhang et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2972 Dissolved inorganic carbon is buried in dryland basins that do not drain to the sea. Based on measurements of sediment chemistry in twelve of these sites, closed basins are estimated to store 0.15 Pg of dissolved inorganic carbon annually. |

Decline in Chinese lake phosphorus concentration accompanied by shift in sources since 2006 pp507 - 511 Yindong Tong, Wei Zhang, Xuejun Wang, Raoul-Marie Couture, Thorjorn Larssen et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2967 Many lakes in China are subject to eutrophication. Water quality analyses on 862 Chinese lakes reveal that better sanitation has reduced phosphorus inputs in the most populated areas, but aquaculture and livestock offset improvements elsewhere.

Internal and external forcing of multidecadal Atlantic climate variability over the past 1,200 years pp512 - 517 Jianglin Wang, Bao Yang, Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, Jurg Luterbacher, Timothy J. Osborn et al. doi:10.1038/ngeo2962 The North Atlantic region experiences climate variability on multidecadal timescales. An analysis of a tree-ring network shows this variability can be attributed to both internal and external forcing over the past 1,200 years. See also: News and Views by Coats & Smerdon |

Abrupt North Atlantic circulation changes in response to gradual CO2 forcing in a glacial climate state pp518 - 523 Xu Zhang, Gregor Knorr, Gerrit Lohmann & Stephen Barker doi:10.1038/ngeo2974 During glacial climates, the strength of the Atlantic overturning circulation has changed abruptly. Climate model simulations show that gradual changes in atmospheric CO2 levels can trigger such events via atmospheric moisture transport. |

Cumulate causes for the low contents of sulfide-loving elements in the continental crust pp524 - 529 Frances Elaine Jenner doi:10.1038/ngeo2965 Earth's continents are depleted in some economically important elements. Geochemical analysis reveals that some sulfide-loving elements are preferentially delaminated and recycled back into the mantle during subduction. |
|
The roles of pyroxenite and peridotite in the mantle sources of oceanic basalts pp530 - 535 Andrew K. Matzen, Bernard J. Wood, Michael B. Baker & Edward M. Stolper doi:10.1038/ngeo2968 Whether subducted oceanic crust is recycled via the mantle back into newly forming seafloor at mid-ocean ridges is unclear. Laboratory partitioning experiments now reveal that recycled material is not required to create oceanic lithosphere. |
