EU Space Law and Earth's Boundaries: Integrating Environmental Impact Assessment and Corporate Due Diligence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union's proposed Space Law aims to establish a unified approach for sustainable space activities across the EU. While the EU's satellite constellations contribute to sustainability efforts, they can also have negative environmental impacts.

Secular evolution of asteroid families: the role of Ceres

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the role of the dwarf planet Ceres on the secular dynamics of the asteroid main belt. Specifically, we examine the post impact evolution of asteroid families due to the interaction of their members with the linear nodal secular resonance with

Thermochemical equilibrium calculations of high-temperature O2 generation on the early Earth: Giant asteroid impact on land [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2003
Earth’s atmosphere is composed primarily of N2 and O2. The origin of free O2 in the early Earth’s atmosphere is still subject of considerable debate.1 Theoretical models suggest that the initial form of free O2 in the atmosphere has been oceanic H2O ...

The Network State, Exit, and the Political Economy of Venture Capital

open access: yesAntipode, EarlyView.
Abstract This article focuses on the Network State movement as embodying the venture capital (VC) logic of exit. Exit constitutes both a strategy for lucrative returns and an ideology seeking out new territories for financial and technological speculation.

The operational environment and rotational acceleration of asteroid (101955) Bennu from OSIRIS-REx observations

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
During its approach to asteroid (101955) Bennu, NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft surveyed Bennu’s immediate environment, photometric properties, and rotation state ...

Projective Displacement Mapping for Ray Traced Editable Surfaces

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Displacement mapping is an important tool for modeling detailed geometric features. We explore the problem of authoring complex surfaces while ray tracing interactively. Current techniques for ray tracing displaced surfaces rely on acceleration structures that require dynamic rebuilding when edited.

Erosive Hit-and-Run Impact Events: Debris Unbound

open access: yes, 2015
Erosive collisions among planetary embryos in the inner solar system can lead to multiple remnant bodies, varied in mass, composition and residual velocity. Some of the smaller, unbound debris may become available to seed the main asteroid belt.

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Panulirus is the spiny lobster genus with the most living species, containing 22 recognised species split into two lineages distinguished by habitat preference. Diversification has been proposed to occur due to geographic events affecting the distribution of adults and the dispersal potential of long‐lived larvae by oceanic currents ...
