  • SCIENCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, A PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES, UC SANTA CRUZ Science, Innovations for building coastal resilience locally, nationally, and globally, Presentation by Mike Beck, Q&A with Stefano Profumo

    Science in the Neighborhood: Innovations for building coastal resilience locally, nationally, and globally

    Science in the Neighborhood
    Seymour Marine Discovery Center 100 McAllister Way, Santa Cruz, CA

    Coastal risks are growing from climate change, development, and habitat loss. The Center for Coastal Climate Resilience assesses coastal risks, promotes nature-based adaptations, and identifies innovative solutions to reduce risks to people, property, and the environment. Dr. Beck will describe recent successes in bridging ecology, engineering, and economics to develop solutions at the intersection of science, policy, and finance. This is part of the Science in the Neighborhood lecture series.

  • Johnstone, J. (AM) – The Effects of Asymmetry on Overshooting and Magnetic Pumping from Compressible Convection Zones

    Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA
    Hybrid Event

    We present a comprehensive numerical investigation examining how vertical asymmetry in compressible convection affects overshooting and the transport of large-scale magnetic fields from convective to stably stratified regions. Using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations, we systematically vary the superadiabaticity and stratification of a convective layer to control the vertical asymmetry of the flow and analyze its […]

  • Yang, J. (CSE) – Towards Controllable and Compositional Generative Vision

    Virtual Event

    Diffusion-based text-to-image models can generate impressive images, but they largely treat an image as a single, flat output, which makes precise editing of individual elements difficult. This proposal studies layered generative representations that align with professional editing workflows, enabling users to manipulate foreground objects while preserving the rest of the scene. A central focus is […]

  • First Saturday Tour at the Arboretum

    First Saturday Tour at the Arboretum
    Arboretum 122 Arboretum Road, Santa Cruz, CA

    First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your knowledge of the Arboretum’s plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide, and the people who join in. For example, you might learn about the birds […]
