 AGU Session H018: Advances in Urban Hydrology

Hi all,

I'd like to call your attention to a session at AGU organized by myself, Taher Chegini and Hyongki Lee (University of Houston), and Nasrin Alamdari: H018, Advances in Urban Hydrology. Our invited speakers are Zhenduo Zhu (Buffalo) and Erin Rivers (Utah State). We hope to spark important conversations about the next big questions in urban hydrology (and data and modeling needed to answer them) and welcome any abstracts related to water in cities.

Session description:

Climate and anthropogenic stressors influence urban hydrology through local- and regional-scale mechanisms such as changing natural flow pathways, disturbing short- and long-term water and energy balance, and altering ecosystem functions. Physical-based modeling and data-driven analyses can provide insights into the intricacies of interactions between these stressors and urban hydrological systems. This session invites research that investigates the drivers of urban hydrologic systems through a wide range of methods, including field studies, remote sensing approaches, and/or modeling. Studies at a wide range of scale, from local to global, are invited, as are interdisciplinary studies involving integrated watershed management, green infrastructure, implications for flood/drought management, water and energy security, pollution/carbon mitigation, environmental justice, and climate resilience.

Best,
