Cronin et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0234-1 Understanding the thermodynamics of air-mass transformations that occur in the atmosphere at the boundary between the Arctic and mid-latitudes is key to improving weather and climate predictions, according to a literature synthesis Perspectives CO2 evasion along streams driven by groundwater inputs and geomorphic controls    pp813 - 818 Clément Duvert, David E. Butman, Anne Marx, Olivier Ribolzi & Lindsay B. Hutley doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0245-y Groundwater-derived CO2 inputs and emissions along streams are highly variable in both space and time, according to measurements of dissolved CO2 from two headwater catchments. Articles True polar wander of Ceres due to heterogeneous crustal density    pp819 - 824 P. Tricarico doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0232-3 The dwarf planet Ceres may have reoriented in the past due to a heterogeneously dense crust, a scenario consistent with gravity and topographic data and the distribution of crustal fractures. High riverine CO2 emissions at the permafrost boundary of Western Siberia    pp825 - 829 S. Serikova, O. S. Pokrovsky, P. Ala-Aho, V. Kazantsev, S. N. Kirpotin et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0218-1 Rivers in the Western Siberian Lowland, the world's largest peatland, play a significant role in the release of terrestrial carbon to the atmosphere, according to in situ measurements of carbon dioxide emissions from rivers. Path-dependent reductions in CO2 emission budgets caused by permafrost carbon release    pp830 - 835 T. Gasser, M. Kechiar, P. Ciais, E. J. Burke, T. Kleinen et al. doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0227-0 Carbon release from permafrost thaw would substantially decrease the amount of carbon emissions required to meet climate targets, according to climate simulations.

Gillett doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0226-1 Recent warming and freshening of the Southern Ocean can be attributed to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, with stratospheric ozone depletion also playing a role, according to a synthesis of observations and climate model simulations.

Talley doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0213-6 Mesoscale ocean features can alter the magnitude of turbulent mixing caused by wind-driven internal waves, an analysis of Argo float and model data suggests.

Murray doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0220-7 The intensity of the North American summer monsoon was modified by changes in the extent of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum and subsequent deglaciation, according to isotope records and numerical simulations.

McConnell doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0210-9 On timescales of centuries and longer, aerosol concentrations in Antarctic ice are controlled by changes in the nature of mid- and high-latitude precipitation, according to analyses of palaeoclimate data.

Hill doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0217-2 Crustal structures are as important as deep mantle melting in controlling magma ascent and the composition and distribution of erupted material, according to 3D resistivity modelling, geophysical data and the distribution of Quaternary volcanism. Locking on a megathrust as a cause of distributed faulting and fault-jumping earthquakes    pp871 - 875 Simon Lamb, Richard Arnold & James D. P. Moore doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0230-5 Earthquakes that jump from fault to fault in subduction zones can be explained by locking on the plate interface, according to GPS data from New Zealand where the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake produced a complex array of crustal ruptures. Slab stagnation due to a reduced viscosity layer beneath the mantle transition zone    pp876 - 881 Wei Mao & Shijie Zhong doi:10.1038/s41561-018-0225-2 Slab stagnation in the transition zone is explained by a thin, weak layer and is transient on timescales of tens of millions of years, according to a global mantle convection model that includes phase changes and plate motion history.
