Hayes, Ralph D. Lorenz & Jonathan I. Lunine doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0103-y The Cassini mission revealed the complex workings of Titan's methane-based hydrologic cycle over a range of timescales, providing a potential window into the future of Earth and its water cycle. Environmental and social footprints of international trade    pp314 - 321 Thomas Wiedmann & Manfred Lenzen doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0113-9 Indicators of environmental and social footprints of international trade must inform assessments of progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, suggests a synthesis of studies on the geospatial separation of consumption and production. Articles Efficient cooling of rocky planets by intrusive magmatism    pp322 - 327 Diogo L. Lourenço, Antoine B. Rozel, Taras Gerya & Paul J. Tackley doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0094-8 Rocky planets dominated by intrusive magmatism can cool more efficiently than those dominated by extrusive volcanism, according to numerical simulations of mantle convection. Reduction of tree cover in West African woodlands and promotion in semi-arid farmlands    pp328 - 333 Martin Brandt, Kjeld Rasmussen, Pierre Hiernaux, Stefanie Herrmann, Compton J. Tucker et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0092-x Farmland management promotes tree cover around villages in the semi-arid Sahel of West Africa, according to analyses of satellite imagery. This implies that a higher population density does not always lead to reduced tree cover. Microbial decomposition of marine dissolved organic matter in cool oceanic crust    pp334 - 339 Sunita R. Shah Walter, Ulrike Jaekel, Helena Osterholz, Andrew T. Fisher, Julie A. Huber et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0109-5 Microbe-mediated oxidation may account for at least 5% of the global dissolved organic carbon loss from the deep ocean, according to carbon isotope analyses on cool crustal fluids circulating through the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Repeated drainage from megathrusts during episodic slow slip    pp351 - 356 Junichi Nakajima & Naoki Uchida doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0090-z Slow slip events may cause fluids to drain from the plate boundary into the overlying plate at subduction zones, according to seismic analyses of events recorded in Kanto, Japan.

DeMets doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0110-z Deformation of the Indian Ocean floor over the past 8 million years was caused by a change in plate motions linked to flow of the Reunion mantle plume, according to analyses of forces upon plates.
