Multi-sector Dynamics: Modeling Earth System-Energy-Human Interactions in Urban Environments
Session ID#: 248277
Session Description:
Earth System-Energy-Human interactions occur at the most detailed level in urban environments. Highly local activity can create global effects through regionally networked and large-scale connections, while people and built infrastructures within cities are increasingly vulnerable to global stresses, population shifts, and intensifying competition over local and wider resources. Emerging scientific approaches integrating multiple urban systems and sectors are urgently needed to inform the complex tradeoffs facing urban areas, increase resilience to stressors, and enhance well-being. This session invites studies that advance this aim by examining coupled human-environmental-energy systems and their co-evolution using state-of-the-science modeling techniques.Relevant interdisciplinary examples include: Urban micrometeorological dynamics Urbanization/population growth Adaptation/heat mitigation in urban areas Building energy consumption and heat wasteUrban heat island/extreme heat/flood/drought risks
