SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Van der Voo Lecture - Mark Simons\, Caltech
DESCRIPTION:Saturn’s moon Enceladus is a primary target for the investigation of habitability elsewhere in our Solar System. This small moon is inferred to have an extensive body of water beneath its outer ice shell - at least below the South Polar Terrain (SPT). This inference is based on the observations of active jets feeding a large plume emanating from the SPT\, the detection of salts and silica particles in plume material and Saturn’s E-ring\, and the variations in geology seen between regions within and outside of the SPT.   The amplitude of forced libration experienced by Enceladus requires mechanical decoupling of the ice shell from the underlying core\, which in turn has been interpreted to require a global ocean underlying the ice crust.   We explore an alternative interpretation that does not include a global ocean but remains consistent with the observed libration and the gravity observations. The observed gravity field is consistent with a thinning of the ice crust at the SPT underlain by a confined regional sea.  Jet activity on Enceladus is documented to be modulated by the tides as Enceladus orbits around Saturn\, which we propose is driven by the interplay of strike slip motion on the Tiger Stripes with geometric complexities in these fault systems.  The importance of geophysical exploration of Enceladus to understand habitability is clear.  We discuss a variety of modern geodetic techniques that should be considered in formulating future missions to this fascinating moon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Figma Workshop 2] Introduction to Components: Buttons and Inputs
DESCRIPTION:In this second FLUX workshop\, we run you through the basics of components! You’ll walk away with advanced button and input components that are set up just like you would in the industry.\n\n———\nFLUX stands for Figma Learning for User Experience. We are a group of students passionate about user experience design and Figma.\n\nOur mission is to create events and activities that support the learning of Figma and UX for students of all levels of expertise and backgrounds across the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR   Diophantine approximation on homogeneous spaces
DESCRIPTION:Let G be a Lie group\, L a lattice in G\, and H a closed subgroup of G.\nSuppose that L acts on the homogeneous space G/H with dense orbits. \nWe would like to measure how dense these orbits actually are\, or equivalently\, gauge the efficiency of approximation of a general point on G/H by a lattice orbit. \n    Departing from traditional classical Diophantine approximation\, we will \nAssume G to be a non-amenable group\,  for example the group of isometries of hyperbolic space\, or the general linear or affine group. \n    We will present a solution to this problem for lattice actions \non a large class of homogeneous spaces\, emphasizing a sufficient condition for when an optimal result holds\, and give some examples. The methods involve dynamical arguments\, and spectral methods applied to the automorphic representation. \n    We will then briefly describe the extensive scope of this set-up\, and explain some more refined problems related to equidistribution and discrepancy of lattice orbits\, as time permits. \n\n    Based partly on joint work with Alex Gorodnik and Anish Ghosh\, and partly on recent joint work with Mikolaj Fraczyk and Alex Gorodnik.
