Magnetic field reversals
Letter by Biggin et al.
Reconstructions of palaeosecular variation suggest that the Earth's magnetic field reversed less frequently 2.82 to 2.45 billion years ago, relative to the Cenozoic era. This suggests a long-term trend of decreasing geodynamo stability since the Archaean eon.

Thirst for energy
Commentary by King et al.
Power generation as well as the production of fuels for transportation requires water, and the supply of high-quality freshwater is energy intensive. A growing population and climate change will increase the pressure on both resources.

Do faults shimmy before they shake?
News and Views by Brudzinski
Not only do plate boundary faults generate earthquakes, they also produce slow slip and non-volcanic tremor. New observations on these phenomena provide fresh insights into the conditions that dictate earthquake behaviour.

Warming effect of tropospheric ozone
Letter by Worden et al.
Tropospheric ozone contributes significantly to human-induced greenhouse warming. Calculations from satellite measurements of spectral radiance suggest that ozone in the upper troposphere caused an average reduction in clear-sky outgoing longwave radiation over the oceans of 0.48+/-0.14 W m-2 for the year 2006 between 45°S and 45°N.
