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 ...

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Perspectives of High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Soil Science

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil biogeochemical research requires specific, sensitive, and accurate methods to identify and quantify organic molecules in order to trace biochemical processes and assess element cycling in complex, heterogenous systems. High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has evolved into a transformative tool for unraveling the complex chemical ...

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.

Dental enamel hypoplasia and intra‐tooth isotope records as indicators of physiological stress and environmental variability in Early Pleistocene hippopotamids from Melka Kunture (Upper Awash, Ethiopia)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enamel hypoplasia results from temporary disruptions of enamel deposition during tooth development. It is widely used as an indicator of physiological stress in archeological and paleontological contexts; yet, its relationship with environmental conditions during tooth formation remains poorly constrained.
