SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Dr. Rosa León Zayas\, Willamette University
DESCRIPTION:Exploration of the deep ocean has expanded our understanding of oceanic ecosystems and yet still little is known about these deep sites on Earth. Some of the most poorly understood ecosystems are subsurface sedimentary environments and ultra-deep trenches\, particularly as it pertains to the distribution of novel microbial lineages and their associated metabolic abilities. In this presentation\, I will share an two examples of work that has advance our understanding of the distribution and metabolic potential of novel microbial lineages\, such as those that are part of the Candidate Phyla Radiation\, and archaeal lineages such as Bathyarchaea and Asgard archaea Superphylum. Overall\, this research seeks to reveal the metabolic potential of novel microbial lineages\, which significantly contributes to our overall understanding of the ecosystem function of subsurface sedimentary environments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR.  Morse-ness in convex projective geometry
DESCRIPTION:The (Hilbert metric) geometry of properly convex domains generalizes real hyperbolic geometry. This generalization is far from the Riemannian notion of non-positive curvature but they have some intriguing similarities. In coarse geometry\, Morse geodesics embody “negatively curved” directions. In this talk\, I will explore Morse geodesics in a properly convex domain. I will show that Morse-ness can be characterized entirely using linear algebraic data (i.e. singular values of matrices that track the geodesic). Further\, I will discuss how this coarse geometric notion of Morse is closely related to a symmetric space notion of Morse (studied by Kapovich-Leeb-Porti) as well as the smoothness of boundary points. This is joint work with Theodore Weisman.
