The State of Astronomy Education in the U.S.
, 1996 I would like to set the scene for the discussion that will follow in this book and bring up a few disturbing points which I believe any discussion about astronomy education will ultimately have to address.

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

Managing and visualising geochemical data for tephra correlation with the IntChron Integration Tool
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is now a wealth of glass‐shard geochemical data for volcanic ash (tephra) layers from a wide range of volcanoes and eruptions, providing invaluable datasets for tephrochronology. However, compilation of published data to assess tephra correlations leads to large files and requires careful management.

Multispectral Mid‐Infrared Imaging With Incoherent Light via Adiabatic Upconversion
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.We demonstrate room‐temperature broadband MIR imaging based on adiabatic frequency upconversion, driven by a Q‐switched pump laser and incoherent illumination. The small‐foot‐print system upconverts the spectral range to the visible domain, without scanning, thermal control and with spatial resolution below 20μm$20\mathrm{\mu}\mathrm{m}$.
