SUMMARY:Other:Moth Eden
DESCRIPTION:Explore \"Moth Eden\,\" an evocative art exhibit by Anne Erlewine\, running from April 19 to July 6\, 2025. ‘Moth Eden’ is a series of works exploring the relationship between the sacred reverence of the female form depicted as landscape and the conditioned tension of objectification contrasted by omission through eclipsing desire with the natural essence of bloom and nectar as it pertains to moth sustenance.\n\nAnne Erlewine\, an artist from Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, cultivated her artistic talents from an early age\, inspired by her fine artist grandmother. Her creative journey was further developed at the University of Michigan\, where she studied art and writing.

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.
