Dear colleagues.

If you are planning to attend the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Annual Meeting this year, to be held in New Orleans, United States between 15th and 19th December, please consider submitting to these sessions on urban climate and modeling. The deadline for submissions is in a week (30th July).

Details below:

GC018 – Advancing Representation of Urban Processes and Dynamics in Models Across Scales

Potential topics include:
1. Urban biophysical and biogeochemical processes
2. Urban vegetation and its spatiotemporal variability
3. Building energy systems, transportation energy use, and associated emissions
4. Urban morphology and heterogeneity
5. Urban air pollution and its physical and chemical interactions
6. Dynamic urbanization across regions
7. Interactions between socioeconomic processes and physical systems

We encourage submissions on process-based, data-driven, machine learning, and hybrid modeling approaches, along with their associated data products.

GC106 – Urban Areas and Global Change

Potential topics include:
1. Urban water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles of the past, present, and future
2. Urban interactions with the environment (through landscapes, ecosystems, and/or atmosphere) across scales
3. Urban-induced changes in spatiotemporal patterns of energy supply and use, transportation, and/or greenhouse gas emissions
4. Food-energy-water nexus of cities
5. Influence of socioeconomic, socio-political, and institutional dynamics on urban policy, planning, and management.

We welcome perspectives from researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds, e.g., from natural and social scientists to engineers and planners.

Dear Urban Climate Community,

On behalf of the AMS Board on the Built Environment, I am pleased to announce the call for nominations for the AMS Outstanding Early Career Award.

We seek nominations for individuals who are within ten years of receiving their highest degree or are under 40 years of age at the time of nomination, and who have demonstrated independent research excellence and a notable impact on the field of urban climate. Nominees should have made significant contributions to the field and be on a path to becoming a science leader in the community.

For your nominations to be considered, please submit a recent CV, a letter of nomination indicating contribution to urban climate research, and two letters of recommendation to Ariane Middel, Ariane.middel@asu.edu, by August 31.

Nominations are evaluated based on impact, independence, and excellence. We encourage submissions that reflect the diversity of our field in terms of discipline, geography, gender, and background. Please circulate this call widely and consider nominating a deserving candidate or self-nominating.

Best,
Ariane Middel
Board Member, AMS Board on the Built Environment
President, IAUC
Associate Professor, Arizona State University

With many of you preparing to travel to Rotterdam and others maybe not able to attend this year, we would like to remind you that all presentations from the previous ICUC11 are available to watch on our Youtube Channel!
