I will discuss a model of elastic dislocations applicable to buried faults in the Earth's crust in between seismic events. The forward problem amounts to solving a non-standard transmission problem for a system of linear PDES in elastostatics, knowing the fault and how much the rock has slipped at the fault. The inverse problem consists in determining the geometry of the fault and the slip at the fault from surface measurements, which can be obtained from GPS and satellite data. While the direct problem is well posed, the inverse problem is generally ill-posed unless assumptions are made on the fault. I will present a uniqueness result for the inverse problem and an iterative reconstruction algorithm based on a distributed shape derivative, which measures the change in the rock displacement under infinitesimal movements of the fault and the slip. I will close with some simple numerical tests from synthetic data. If time permits, I will also discuss non-linear and non-local viscoelastic models for the fault dynamics. This is joint work with Andrea Aspri (University of Milan), Elena Beretta (NYU-Abu Dhabi), Maarten de Hoop (Rice University), and PhD student Arum Lee.

This symposium will explore the developments that threaten the news media's ability to function in its historic role as the "Fourth Estate" and will ask whether the law can be used to address these challenges. For example, do the current laws (e.g., defamation, privacy, copyright, broadcast) adequately protect the news media and other parties? Can law be used to reduce media consolidation and address the loss of local media outlets? Can social media be regulated in ways that might help increase public confidence in the news media? How can journalists be better protected from threats to their newsgathering and publication efforts? Can or should there be limits on the ability of wealthy private actors to mute or silence media outlets? What can the news media do, if anything, to restore public confidence? The symposium will address these and other questions.

Delta Tau Delta (ΔΤΔ) was founded on October 18, 1858 at Bethany College in Bethany, Virginia. 

It starts at the Pond House with the physician giving a brief presentation about a health topic. Then the group sets off for a one-mile loop through the park, encouraged to continue the conversation with the physician and future physicians along the way.
