Our April issue is live!
Check out a collection on enigmatic ultra low velocity zones.
Highlights also include work on human impacts on mud, underestimated "forever" chemical concentrations, cyclic hazards from island arc eruptions, and much more.
Article: Machine learning shows that differences between shallow and deep earthquakes are consistent with depth-dependent variation in Earth's rigidity
Article: Multidecadal oscillation of the Earth’s inner core, coinciding with length of day and magnetic field variations, is experiencing a pause and may be reversing

NGeo: Spatially-varying uplift rates strongly influence the concavity of river profiles worldwide, with smaller contributions from hydrological factors

Summary of our editors' top tips:
1) Seek advice if needed
2) Resist an angry response
3) Revise your paper accordingly
4) Organise your letter
5) Stand up for your science
6) Don’t ignore comments
7) Don’t guess reviewer identities; you’re usually wrong!

NGeo: Scientists from historically excluded groups face a hostile obstacle course
“Replacing the leaky pipeline metaphor with that of a hostile obstacle course demands that those with power take the lead.”
Article: The seismic anomaly beneath Africa is greater in height and less stable than its Pacific counterpart because of its lower density
