SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Dr. Christiane Jablonowski (rescheduled)
DESCRIPTION:About the Presentation: The talk provides an overview of various lake-atmosphere coupling approaches that are either currently employed or envisioned for NOAA’s suite of weather prediction models across a range of temporal and spatial scales. Special attention is paid to the representation of the Laurentian Great Lakes in the high-resolution\, convection-allowing NOAA forecast models HRRR as well as the newly-developed Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS). The latter is based on a configuration of NOAA’s Unified Forecast System (UFS). The lake surface conditions for temperature and ice are either represented via NOAA’s operational 3D FVCOM lake modeling framework with the embedded lake ice component CICE or represented via a simpler 1D modeling approach based on the CLM lake parameterization. The talk will compare these two lake modeling approaches\, will survey the pros and cons of online and offline lake-atmosphere coupling ideas\, and will shed light on the temporal coupling frequency. The ideas will be illustrated via selected case studies that focus on lake-effect snow events during the winter months. These lake-effect snow events downwind of the Great Lakes are especially sensitive to lake-atmosphere interactions and thereby serve as suitable exemplars.\n\nAbout the speaker: Christiane Jablonowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan\, and the head of the Atmospheric Dynamics Modeling Group. Her research lies at the interface between atmospheric fluid dynamics\, applied mathematics and scientific computing. In particular\, her work focuses on the fluid dynamics component (the “dynamical core”) of weather and climate models. She advances the frontiers of multi-scale Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) and variable-resolution modeling techniques that can selectively zoom into areas of interest. In addition\, Dr. Jablonowski is the lead founder of the Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP).\n\nDr. Jablonowski is the recipient of a Department of Energy Early Career Award and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. She is the co-chair of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) ‘Atmospheric Model Working Group’ and a scientific advisory board member for the ‘Climate Change Science Institute’ (CCSI) at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Prior to joining the faculty she was a postdoctoral researcher at NCAR and NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)

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
