EDTKEY CONFERENCE INFORMATION when 10-14 December 2018where Washington, DC USABest regards,Lauren McPhillipsAGU H.134 sessionWater, Energy, and Society in Urban Systems.Convener: Claire Welty Co-Conveners: Andrea Cominola, Lauren McPhillips, Kelly SandersUrbanization creates areas of intense hydrological and ecological anthropization leading to complex hydrologic flowpaths and altered energy balance dynamics, infrastructure stresses, and novel ecosystem configurations. A growing body of work is characterizing urban water and energy systems and links to society, economy, and public health. However, climate change, aging infrastructure, and material fluxes modify and complicate these coupled systems. Continued inquiry and synthesis reveals unexpected interactions and impacts present in urban systems. Understanding how urban water and energy systems - and their interdependencies - may be modeled and evolve across relevant spatial and temporal scales remains key to inform coordinated planning and management policies. This session invites a diversity of research associated with process, impacts, management and mitigation in urban systems. Topics and applications could regard complex, multi-scale, relationships among hydrology, energy, ecology, climatic, society, and green infrastructure approaches, including demand-side management, emerging technologies informing water/energy management, and conservation strategies.*
