The Benefits Services office would like to introduce MTU Wellness 360, the new and improved employee incentive program formerly known as Husky Health.

MTU Wellness 360 is free, voluntary and confidential. The program helps qualifying, benefits-eligible faculty and staff learn about their health and well-being, encourages them to take steps to improve or maintain it, and offers monetary rewards of up to $450 for participating in incentive options.

The goal of MTU Wellness 360 is to encourage sustainable, healthy lifestyles to help prevent chronic disease and other health conditions as well as manage rising health care costs. Additionally, MTU Wellness 360 strives to provide faculty and staff with valuable tools and resources to support their emotional, social and financial well-being.

To streamline the program’s recording and reporting aspect, MTU Wellness 360 utilizes a Google form instead of the paper forms used in prior incentive programs. To earn up to $450, participants will simply check off the activities they completed between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2023, and submit the electronic form.

The last day to submit your MTU Wellness 360 form for 2023 will be Jan. 9, 2024. Payouts are expected to arrive in late February. Tax-free payout options include lump sums deposited into an employee’s Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Taxable payout options include Tech Bucks or Keweenaw Cash.

Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences Institute (EPSSI) guest XingChao Chen, associate professor in the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at Pennsylvania State University, will give a talk on Monday (Oct. 9) at 4 p.m. in M&M U113.

Event details can be viewed on the University Events Calendar.

Chen's talk is titled "Deepening Insights into Tropical Convection: Leveraging Satellites, High-Resolution Models, and Data Assimilation Techniques."

From the abstract:
Tropical convection plays a major role in Earth’s water and energy cycles. It redistributes energy, moisture, and momentum vertically, and produces tremendous amounts of precipitation in the tropics. Heating released by tropical convection is the major driver of the atmospheric general circulation, and clouds associated with tropical convection modulate considerably the global radiation balance. However, tropical convection often occurs over regions with sparse in situ observations. As a result, our knowledge of the physical processes governing the evolution of tropical convection is still incomplete, and accurate model predictions of tropical convection remain elusive.

In this talk, I will introduce some of our recent work examining the intricate interplay between tropical convection and the large-scale environment. Using a recently developed satellite-based global cloud tracking and classification dataset, I will show that shallow, isolated deep, and organized convection play sequential roles in the precipitation-moisture coupling cycle over the tropics. Organized convection (i.e., mesoscale convective systems, or MCSs) becomes the dominant precipitation type as the troposphere approaches saturation, with a rapid increase in MCS precipitation area. We further found that, in addition to moisture, environmental deep-layer (~surface-400 hPa) wind shear also plays a crucial role in modulating the precipitation of tropical MCSs, mainly by enhancing the heavy precipitating convective activity within MCSs. Using high-resolution models, I will further show how the organization of tropical deep convection will modulate vertical mass, water, and energy transports, and further influence the onset of monsoon systems.

In the second half of the talk, I will discuss the limitations of using either satellite observations or numerical models to study tropical convection. To address these limitations, data assimilation is emerging as a valuable statistical approach that integrates information from both observations and model simulations to provide more accurate insights into tropical convection. Using data assimilation, we have recently developed a new reanalysis dataset of tropical convection. This dataset serves as an important tool for our group to study the scale interactions between tropical convection and its environment. I will illustrate this with an interesting case study where gravity waves play an important role in modulating the formation of a tropical cyclone.

Math Hosting Kliakhandler Lecture Series Speaker: David Colton

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (Math) is proud to host another Kliakhandler Lecture Series, bringing a top mathematician to campus to present a pair of lectures.

David Colton of the University of Delaware will present two lectures — today (Oct. 5) and tomorrow (Oct. 6) — sponsored by the Math department and funded by a generous gift from former faculty member Igor Kliakhandler.

Colton is an internationally renowned pioneer and leader in the area of direct and inverse scattering theory. He has won numerous honors and his publications have been cited over 23,000 times on Google Scholar as well as 7,000 times on MathSciNet.

• Lecture 1 — "Inverse Problems in Applied Mathematics"
  Thursday, Oct. 5, from 5-6 p.m. in Fisher 138
  Open to the Public
  In Colton's first lecture, he will give a broad overview of inverse problems in applied mathematics. He will begin by giving as an example the initial boundary value problem for the backwards heat equation and use the method of separation of variables to show that this inverse problem can be reduced to the problem of solving an integral equation of the first kind. He will then show by simple examples that solving integral equations of the first kind is an ill-posed problem and show that nevertheless, under appropriate assumptions, a unique solution can be obtained through a method known as Tikhonov regularization. He will conclude our lecture by considering an inverse problem arising in nondestructive testing and show how this problem can be solved through the use of Tikhonov regularization.

• Lecture 2 — "Eigenvalue Problems in Scattering Theory"
  Friday, Oct. 6, from 1-2 p.m. in Fisher 329
  Open to Math Faculty and Students 
  Colton's second talk will be a departmental research lecture delivered to the faculty and students of the Math department. The aim of this lecture is to introduce this class of nonselfadjoint eigenvalue problems to a general mathematical audience who may have no expertise in scattering theory itself. In particular, Colton will give a brief introduction to acoustic scattering theory and then introduce the transmission eigenvalue problem, as well as two related eigenvalue problems which have recently been shown to play an important role in nondestructive testing.
