SUMMARY:Forecasting D-Day: The Untold Story
DESCRIPTION:Join the Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, the Clements Library\, and featured speaker Paul Gross on May 8 at 7PM to view Forecast: Overlord\, a documentary about how weather affected the Allied Invasion of Normandy on D-Day. \nAfter the viewing\, we will host a discussion with leading local weather expert\, Paul Gross\, who researched\, wrote\, and produced the documentary. \nLocal 4 Meteorologist Emeritus Paul Gross worked for forty years at the hometown station he grew up wanting to be a “weatherman” at as a child. Paul spent three-and-a-half years researching the weather behind the Allied invasion of Normandy\, France on June 6th\, 1944. The documentary he wrote and produced was deemed so historically significant that it was added to the D-Day archives at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library\, the British Meteorological Archives\, and the Museums of Television and Radio History in New York and Chicago. \nThe Clements Library‘s mission is to collect\, preserve\, share\, and promote the study and discussion of primary sources related to all aspects of the history and culture of North America and the Caribbean to 1900. \nDocumentary viewing starts at 7PM and is about 23 minutes long.

SUMMARY:Astronomy Night: Featuring Prof. Christiane Jablonowski
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to feature Professor Christiane Jablonowski with Diving into the World of Weather and Climate Models. \nChristiane Jablonowski is a 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 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. \nTalk begins at 8PM and will be followed by tours at 8:30PM through the historic Detroit Observatory and\, if weather permits\, night sky observing through the historic Fitz Telescope. \nYou may register for both the talk and tours + telescope observing.

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Law Quadrangle: A Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:This walking tour meets at the corner of S. University Ave. and State St.\, on the outer northwest corner of the Law Quad. \nHave you ever wondered about the history of the buildings that sit in the middle of campus that many associate with the Renaissance\, east coast Ivy Leagues\, or even Hogwarts? \nThis walking tour seeks to familiarize you not only with the illustrious\, imposing architecture of the Law Quadrangle here at the University of Michigan but also with the historic presence of the Law School itself. Over the course of 1.5 hours\, we will discuss the conception of the buildings themselves\, the winding roads it took to get there\, and the Law School’s many years of influence on social issues and legal education as we stroll through the Quad. Join us as we uncover stories and debunk myths about the distinctive University of Michigan Law Quadrangle.
