Northern Borneo, and the British Straits Settlements (Penang, Melaka and Singapore) were reclaimed extensively but not in the same way due to different political and labor configurations. British, Japanese and other European private enterprise financed the bulk of land reclamation in the former while the colonial government paid for it in the latter entirely. Reclaimed land expanded Singapore\u2019s harbor and port facilities. Increase in rubber exports from the 1920s onwards prompted the British to finance land reclamation in Southeast Asia.\r\n \r\n Nurfadzilah Yahaya is an Assistant Professor of History at Yale University. She received her BA (2003) and MA (2006) from the National University of Singapore, and her PhD (2012) in History from Princeton University. Before coming to Yale, she taught at the National University of Singapore. From 2012 to 2015, she was the Mark Steinberg Weil Early Career Fellow in Islamic Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. Nurfadzilah Yahaya specializes in history of Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean history, legal history, history of infrastructure, and environmental history. Her first book, Fluid Jurisdictions: Colonial Law and Arabs in Southeast Asia (Cornell University Press, 2020; paperback 2022) demonstrates how colonial subjects entrenched European colonial legalities in British and Dutch territories in Southeast Asia by playing several jurisdictions against one another from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Drawing on archival sources in Malay, French, Arabic, Dutch and English, she reconstructs family, religious, bureaucratic, and commercial legal orders across the Indian Ocean.\r\n \r\n Yahaya\u2019s current book project \u2018Overflow: History of Land Reclamation in the British Empire in the Twentieth Century\u2019 lies at the intersection of environmental history, urban history, science and technology studies, legal history, and history of infrastructure.\r\n\r\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

The current state-of-the-practice Geospace model is computationally expensive for fine-grid global simulations, while existing machine learning methods consistently tend to underestimate dBH. Additionally, these models either lack uncertainty quantification (UQ) or provide UQ that lacks calibration. In this work, as part of the NextGen SWMF project funded by NSF, we develop a data-driven, grid-free global model using deep Gaussian process (DGP), a Bayesian non-parametric approach that forecasts the dBH for the full surface of Earth with calibrated uncertainty. The model uses solar wind measurements and the Dst index as input, and it is trained based on ground magnetometer station data provided by SuperMAG over the period 1995-2022. The model's predictions are evaluated based on the Heidke skill score (HSS) for a total of 22 geomagnetic storms in 2015. We further test the model on the 2024 May 10-12 storm. The results demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art model, with predictions exhibiting high accuracy in mid-latitudes and high-latitude regions in the northern hemisphere.\r\n\r\nBio:\r\nHongfan Chen is a third-year PhD student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.
