Travelling the Two‐Way Street: Disrupting Colonial History
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using examples from the historical narratives about Kainai (Blackfoot Confederacy) painter Gerald Tailfeathers, this chapter challenges colonial narratives in Canadian history and historiography. Inspired by the author's participation in a Disrupting interview, the chapter explores both the author's personal history with colonial histories and

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Mitigating Complex Dust Foregrounds in Future Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Experiments [PDF]
, 2017 Polarized Galactic foregrounds are one of the primary sources of systematic error in measurements of the B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

Global 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.

Corrected SFD: A More Accurate Galactic Dust Map with Minimal Extragalactic Contamination
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The widely used Milky Way dust-reddening map, the Schlegel–Finkbeiner–Davis (SFD) map, was found to contain extragalactic large-scale structure (LSS) imprints.

AN APPARENT REDSHIFT DEPENDENCE OF QUASAR CONTINUUM: IMPLICATION FOR COSMIC DUST EXTINCTION? [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the luminosity and redshift dependence of the quasar continuum by means of the composite spectrum using a large non-BAL radio-quiet quasar sample drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

Compression‐Expansion: Miniaturization, Modularity, and Logistics Beyond Earth
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT If the Cold War space race culminated in a return to Earth, at present we are experiencing a renewed interest in space. Drawing on fieldwork among people working in the space sector in Sweden, this article focuses on some of the imaginaries underpinning this resurgence and the contemporary commercialization of space. Specifically, I hone in on

Publications of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2015 Cosmology considers the Hubble redshift of galaxy light by the Doppler effect as proof the Universe has been expanding since the Big Bang. However, cosmic dust that permeates the Universe also redshifts galaxy light that if not corrected over-predicts the velocities of all astronomical measurements inferred by the Doppler effect.

Weichselian–Holocene glacial history of the Sjuøyane archipelago, northern Svalbard
Boreas, EarlyView.To reconstruct the glacial history of Sjuøyane, we describe coastal sedimentary sections in Quaternary sediments and constrain their chronology by radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence ages. The sedimentary sections largely consist of shallow (glacio‐)marine and/or littoral sediments deposited during high relative sea levels.
