Greetings! Please consider submitting an abstract to session GC043 "ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF URBANIZATION AT MULTIPLE SCALES: NEIGHBORHOOD TO GLOBE"
Description: Expansion and intensification of cities affect built, managed, and unmanaged environments. This session explores the manifold effects of urbanization at local, regional, global scales. We welcome contributions from atmospheric, ecological, geographical, hydrological, and interdisciplinary perspectives Invited presentations include: "The Science of Middle Nature" by Diane Pataki (University of Utah) "Quantification of Urban Carbon Pools and Fluxes from Neighborhood to Regional Scales" by Lucy Hutyra (Boston University) "Spatio-Temporal Evolution and Scaling Properties of Human Settlements" by Chris Small (Columbia University) http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/gc043-environmental-impacts-of-urbanization-at-multiple-scales-neighborhood-to-globe-2/ CO-SPONSORING SECTION(S): American Meteorological Society (AMS), Atmospheric Sciences (A), Biogeosciences (B), Hydrology (H), Natural Hazards (NH), Societal Impacts and Policy Sciences (SI) INDEX TERMS: [1630] GLOBAL CHANGE / Impacts of global change, [0493] BIOGEOSCIENCES / Urban systems, [0345] ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE / Pollution: urban and regional, [1803] HYDROLOGY / Anthropogenic effects.
