SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SEARCH AND BIASED BELIEFS IN EDUCATION MARKETS
DESCRIPTION:This paper asks how search costs\, limited awareness of schools\, misperceptions of schools’ attributes\, and inaccurate beliefs over unknown schools affect families’ search and application decisions in Chile’s nationwide school choice process. We combine novel data on search activity with a panel of household surveys\, administrative application data\, randomized information experiments\, and a model of demand and sequential search with subjective beliefs. Descriptively\, households hold inaccurate beliefs and misperceptions along multiple dimensions which distort the perceived returns to search. Most importantly\, they do not know all schools\, and misperceive quality ratings of the schools they know and like. Improving the search technology would raise households’ search effort and welfare. Correcting misperceptions about known schools’ observables would cause students to match to schools with higher quality\, equal to what can be achieved under a full-information benchmark. Models without misperceptions would incorrectly predict quality reductions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yaolin Miao Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Observational seismology plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the Earth's dynamic processes and internal structure\, serving as the foundation of seismic hazard assessment. It relies heavily on the availability and quality of data from a wide range of sources. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology with the potential to greatly expand seismic data coverage by converting fiber-optic cables into dense arrays of seismic sensors. Compared to conventional instruments\, DAS offers unique advantages in spatial density and convenient deployment\, particularly in challenging or previously inaccessible environments. However\, DAS also presents several limitations\, including lower signal-to-noise ratios for individual channels\, indirect measurements of ground motion\, and directional sensitivity to axial fiber orientation. As a result\, data processing procedures for routine seismic monitoring need to accommodate these features. This thesis contributes to developing modified processing techniques and evaluating the performance of DAS arrays under various conditions across three key applications: event detection\, source imaging\, and shallow subsurface characterization. The findings of these case studies aim to provide implications to the seismological community in assessing the potential for integrating DAS into modern seismic networks.\n\nIn Chapter 2\, we focused on assessing the recording capability of an Ocean-Bottom DAS (OBDAS) array in the Sanriku region\, Japan. We introduced two array-based detection methods—Waveform Similarity Search (WSS) and Spectrum Similarity Search (SSS)—that utilize the dense spatial sampling of OBDAS to detect coherent earthquake signals over subsections of the array. These techniques detected thousands of cataloged and previously uncataloged earthquakes. By analyzing the detection statistics\, We found that the recording capability of the OBDAS array varies substantially across channels\, and the array is well capable of recording regional earthquakes within a 100 km radius region. The array also recorded local repeating earthquakes across different subregions. These results highlight the feasibility of using OBDAS for long-term seismic monitoring and its potential to address the scarcity of offshore instrumentation\, especially near subduction zones with extensive submarine fiber networks.\n\nIn Chapter 3\, we investigated the potential of DAS on earthquake rupture imaging. We utilized both synthetic data and realistic recordings to identify the significant challenges of applying the Back-projection method (BP) to DAS data: the unstable solvability caused by highly asymmetric array geometry and limited azimuth coverage. Considering these constraints\, we also proposed several data processing procedures to better adapt DAS data for BP analysis. We demonstrated the effectiveness of BP with the 2022 MW7.6 Michoacán earthquake recorded by a DAS array in Mexico City. Our analysis demonstrated that\, despite some limitations\, DAS-based BP could successfully capture key rupture features\, including multiple subevents and rupture direction. Meanwhile\, we analyzed several sources of uncertainty and proposed practical guidelines for improving DAS-based BP performance. We also proposed an initial assessment scheme to understand the feasibility of BP analysis for a given event-array geometry\, which is transferrable to other similar studies. Our work highlights the potential of DAS to enhance earthquake source imaging on a regional-to-local scale\, offering alternative yet valuable insights into regions under-served by conventional seismic networks.\n\nIn Chapter 4\, we used ambient seismic fields recorded by an ocean-bottom DAS array to image the shallow subsurface beneath the Florence region. Leveraging the long-duration recordings of DAS\, we retrieved coherent surface waves through extensive stacking and applied a double-beamforming (DBF) approach to stably measure multimode dispersions. We performed a perturbational-based inversion method to invert for S-wave velocities over the first 2000-meter sediments underlying the fiber-optic cable. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the DBF method in enhancing spatial resolution. While the high cost and limited availability of underwater instruments hinder progress in imaging shallow structures in marine settings\, this work demonstrates the potential of OBDAS arrays for high-resolution passive imaging.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - How fish and fisher behavior affect production in small-scale reef fisheries
DESCRIPTION:Title: How fish and fisher behavior affect production in small-scale reef fisheries\n\nSummary: Reef fisheries\, which provide food and livelihoods for over one billion people\, are in decline due to growing population demands and climate-driven habitat loss. As the challenges facing these social-ecological systems intensify\, it is critical to understand the relationships between fishing communities and reef ecosystems. My dissertation draws on ecological and social science theory\, quantitative modeling\, field experiments\, and ethnographic research to provide an insight into the role of fish and fishers’ behavior in shaping small-scale reef fisheries. In my first study\, I documented behavioral responses of fishers in The Bahamas to a Category 5 hurricane and the COVID-19 pandemic\, highlighting key factors that influence resilience in the face of external shocks. In two subsequent studies\, I investigated the use of artificial reefs to augment fisheries production in the Caribbean. I used an individual-based model to demonstrate how fish behavior and size structure alter production dynamics on artificial reefs. Next\, I combined a decade of timeseries data on artificial reefs\, empirical data on fish population dynamics\, and production models to provide mechanistic evidence that artificial reefs enhance fisheries production. Together\, my research provides scientific insight into community resilience and fisheries management strategies that can be used to help support small-scale fisheries and the communities who depend on them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frontiers in Scientific Machine Learning Seminar 13: Statistical learning for Summary Statistics of Physics-based Model Outputs and their Correction and Probabilistic Outputs from Neural Networks applied to Super-resolution
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid seminar. Attendees can join online or at 2636 GGB (Breakfast and coffee will be provided)\nLink to join via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract:\nIn the first part of this talk\, we will discuss summary statistics of physics-based model outputs and their correction with observational data.\nPhysics-based models capture broad-scale dynamics across various spatial and temporal scales\, they often face challenges such as modeling biases\, high computational costs\, along with large outputs that are challenging to manipulate. On the other hand\, observations capture localized variability but are typically sparse. This talk presents an innovative approach to address these challenges by utilizing summary statistics from physics-based model outputs and enhancing them with observational information via neural networks.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, we will present neural networks with closed-form probabilistic loss that applied to super-resolution of surface wind speed. We will illustrate that the use of a closed-form probabilistic loss provides the neural network with a sampling capability and a spatial covariance for super-resolved wind fields.\n\nThese are joint work with Atlanta Chakraborty (NREL)\, Harrison Goldwyn (NREL)\, Daniel Getter (USC)\, Johann Rudi (Virginia Tech) and Mitchell Krock (University of Missouri)\n\nBio: Julie Bessac received her Ph.D. degree in 2014 in Applied Mathematics from the University of Rennes 1\, France. Between 2014 and 2023\, she was a post-doctoral appointee and a research scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. She joined National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2023 as a computational statistician. She is an adjunct professor at the Department of Statistics at Virginia Tech.

SUMMARY:Well-being:Heartfulness Guided Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly\, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \n\nAll U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required. \n\n*What will you learn?*\n\nThe guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and meditation.\n\nRelaxation brings your body to a calm\, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level\, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions\, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice. These sessions are offered Monthly.* https://events.umich.edu/event/128708\n\n*Event Details*\n\nHeartfulness Guided Meditation \nFridays from 12-12:30 p.m. ET (except during university season days / holidays)\nJoin Via Zoom Meeting\nRegister to receive Passcode (see “Related links”\n\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by ITS Teaching & Learning and provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.
