Change history

  • 21 December 2012

    In the version of the Correspondence 'Hydroelectric carbon sequestration' originally published (Nature Geosci. 5, 838–840; 2012), the 'Light temperature' label in Fig. 1 should have read 'Low temperature'. This has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions.
