Nobel Prize in Physics 2019
We present this Collection of research, review and comment from Nature Research to celebrate the award of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics to James Peebles “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology” and to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star”. Together, these discoveries have changed the way we view the Universe, and our place within it.

Icy worlds
Ice-rich planetary objects are geologically complex and diverse. Some harbour potentially habitable subsurface water oceans, so these bodies are a priority for further exploration.

Carbon budgets and the 1.5 °C target
Budgets of carbon emissions that are consistent with limiting warming to no more than 1.5 °C over preindustrial temperatures have been hotly debated, following the Paris Agreement on climate change targets. Read more on these discussions in our web focus.

10th Anniversary Focus
Nature Geoscience launched a decade ago, in January 2008. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary with this web focus, where we collect a series of articles that reflect on progress in a few selected areas of the Earth and planetary sciences and on changes in the field and its relationship to society.
