Oldfather, Rachael L. Olliff-Yang, Andrew P. Weitz, Carrie R. Levine et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0060-2 Research Highlights   Two birds with one stone    p95 Alastair Brown doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0075-3 Preference for extreme outcomes    p95 Jenn Richler doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0076-2 A model revolution    p95 Graham Simpkins doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0077-1 Mainstreaming adaptation    p95 Adam Yeeles doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0078-0 News & Views   Investing in a green future    pp96 - 97 Christa Clapp doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0071-7 Unsteady seasons in the sea    pp97 - 98 Judith Hauck doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0069-1 No blast from the past    pp99 - 100 Matthew J. Bogard & David E. Butman doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0070-8 Nature Climate Change JOBS of the week Assistant or Associate Professor in Geovisualization University of Michigan, School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) Associate / Assistant Professor University of Miami Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Sustainability Springer Nature Program Staff, Environment Portfolio Robertson Foundation More Science jobs from Nature Climate Change EVENT " 2018 International Conference on Environmental Science and Civil Engineering (ESCE 2018)" 15.06.18 Shanghai, China More science events from Perspectives   Challenges and opportunities for improved understanding of regional climate dynamics    pp101 - 108 Matthew Collins, Shoshiro Minobe, Marcelo Barreiro, Simona Bordoni, Yohai Kaspi et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0059-8 The response of storms, blocks and jet streams to external forcing, basin-to-basin and tropical–extratropical interactions, and non-linear predictive theory, are highlighted as strategic areas to advance understanding of regional climate dynamics   The role of supply-chain initiatives in reducing deforestation    pp109 - 116 Eric F. Lambin, Holly K. Gibbs, Robert Heilmayr, Kimberly M. Carlson, Leonardo C. Fleck et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0061-1 In this Perspective, private company supply-chain initiatives designed to reduce deforestation are assessed. Public–private policy mixes are advocated to increase their efficacy.   Building adaptive capacity to climate change in tropical coastal communities    pp117 - 123 Joshua E. Cinner, W. Neil Adger, Edward H. Allison, Michele L. Barnes, Katrina Brown et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0065-x Efforts to improve people's capacity to adapt to climate change have so far focussed on a relatively narrow understanding of adaptive capacity. In this Perspective, the authors propose an approach to build adaptive capacity across a broader set of domains.   Letters   Implications of sustainable development considerations for comparability across nationally determined contributions    pp124 - 129 Gokul Iyer, Katherine Calvin, Leon Clarke, James Edmonds, Nathan Hultman et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0039-z To reduce emissions, countries have committed to nationally determined contributions (NDCs). However, countries are also committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and this study looks at the synergies between meeting NDCs and SDGs.   Divestment prevails over the green paradox when anticipating strong future climate policies    pp130 - 134 Nico Bauer, Christophe McGlade, Jérôme Hilaire & Paul Ekins doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0053-1 Fossil fuel market response to future climate policies could result in divestment in anticipation, or accelerated extraction—the green paradox. This study projects reduced emissions due to anticipation effects prior to policy implementation.   Global-scale hydrological response to future glacier mass loss    pp135 - 140 Matthias Huss & Regine Hock doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0049-x The future of glaciers and associated runoff is projected for 56 large drainage basins globally, with glacier wastage impacting on runoff and water resources even in basins with limited glacier cover.   Diverging seasonal extremes for ocean acidification during the twenty-first century    pp141 - 145 Lester Kwiatkowski & James C. Orr doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0054-0 Marine biology will be impacted by changes in the ocean carbonate system. This study projects contrasting seasonal changes of the hydrogen ion concentration, pH, and carbonate saturation state, which will exacerbate and ameliorate ocean acidification impacts.   Strengthening seasonal marine CO2 variations due to increasing atmospheric CO2    pp146 - 150 Peter Landschützer, Nicolas Gruber, Dorothee C. E. Bakker, Irene Stemmler & Katharina D. Six doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0057-x Uptake of anthropogenic CO2 changes the surface ocean inorganic carbon system. Analysis of observations shows an increase in the seasonal oceanic carbon cycle, amplifying the ocean acidification signal with implications for marine biota.   Biomass-based negative emissions difficult to reconcile with planetary boundaries    pp151 - 155 Vera Heck, Dieter Gerten, Wolfgang Lucht & Alexander Popp doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0064-y Biomass-based negative emissions can help to address the planetary boundary (PB) for climate change. However, side-effects likely include pushing us closer to the PBs for freshwater use and further transgression of the PBs for biosphere integrity, land-system change, and biogeochemical flows.   Synergy between nutrients and warming enhances methane ebullition from experimental lakes    pp156 - 160 Thomas A. Davidson, Joachim Audet, Erik Jeppesen, Frank Landkildehus, Torben L. Lauridsen et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0063-z The combination of nutrient enrichment and warming has a synergistic effect on rates of methane ebullition from experimental lakes. This suggests methane emissions from shallow lakes may be significantly underestimated.   Advertisement KAUST Discovery: Research into clean fuels  Fuel Combustion Chemist Mani Sarathy's researches alternative fuels, Sarathy works closely with atmospheric scientists to better grasp the fate of exhaust emissions. The research even looks at utilising artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve combustion processes.  Read more online >>    Articles   The changing value of the 'green' label on the US municipal bond market    pp161 - 165 Andreas Karpf & Antoine Mandel doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0062-0 In comparison to conventional bonds, green bonds have been penalized on the municipal market. However, in recent years the credit quality of green bonds has improved, and they now represent an increasingly feasible option to unlock climate finance.   Greenhouse gas emissions from diverse Arctic Alaskan lakes are dominated by young carbon    pp166 - 171 Clayton D. Elder, Xiaomei Xu, Jennifer Walker, Jordan L. Schnell, Kenneth M. Hinkel et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-017-0066-9 A spatially extensive survey of lake CH4 and CO2 emissions in Arctic Alaska shows the source material to be primarily relatively young organic matter (up to about 3,500 years old). Contributions from ancient C sources were twice as large in fine textured sediments.   Advertisement Spotlight on Kanagawa  A smart place to work Lower house prices, proximity to Tokyo, and a burgeoning R&D ecosystem are thrusting Kanagawa into the modern world from its ancient history.  Access Free Online >>    Advertisement Nature Mentoring Collection  Offering advice and support to scientist mentors and their mentees  Access the Collection >>    Natureevents is a fully searchable, multi-disciplinary database designed to maximise exposure for events organisers.
