If you work on hydrologic aspects of urban systems, from micro-climate
to changing fluvial systems to water quality and quantity management,
please consider submitting an abstract to our session at the AGU Fall
Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, December 11-15, 2017:
H142: Water, Energy, and Society in Urban Systems
Urbanization creates areas of intense hydrological and ecological
modification leading to complex hydrologic flow paths and altered energy
balance dynamics, infrastructure stresses, and novel ecosystem
configurations. A growing body of work is characterizing urban
hydrologic systems and links to society, economy, and public health.
However, climate change, aging infrastructure, and substantial material
fluxes modify and complicate these coupled systems. Continued inquiry
and synthesis reveals unexpected interactions and impacts present in
urban systems. This session invites a diversity of research associated
with process, impacts, and mitigation in urban systems, with a focus on
complex relationships among hydrology, ecology, climatic, energy,
society, and green infrastructure approaches.
Abstract submission deadlines are July 26 (Early Submission) and August
2 (Final Deadline). Information about the meeting and details on
abstract submission can be found here: https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2017/

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Thanks for the consideration!
