Session on Advances in Observationally Integrated Earth System Modeling for Coastal Environments at the hybrid AGU Annual Fall Meeting (13-17 Dec 2021)

[Ali Abdolali - NOAA Affiliate]

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce a session on coastal dynamics at the hybrid AGU Annual Fall Meeting (13-17 Dec 2021). 

Session Title: Advances in Observationally Integrated Earth System Modeling for Coastal Environments

Session ID: 125442

Session Description: The modeling of physical and biogeochemical processes in coastal environments are often highly simplified, with conventional Earth system models making various approximations, omissions and linearizations when coupling ocean, land, river, ice, and permafrost dynamics. This session highlights the challenges in developing modeling/observational approaches designed to improve forecasts of coastal hazards such as flooding, erosion, damage to infrastructure, and water contamination, and to enhance our understanding of coastal change and its impact on human activities from tropical to polar regions. We encourage submissions in (1) coupled model development, with a focus on coastal land-river-ocean-ice interactions; (2) capturing physics and biogeochemistry across scales, including variable-resolution/nested modeling capabilities; (3) integrated modeling and/or observational analysis of coupled coastal dynamics, including processes affected by sea-level rise, flooding, inundation, waves, tides, geomorphology, and biological interactions. Contributions focusing on lessons learned from past efforts and the path forward in advancing modeling/measurements are welcome.

The deadline for abstract submissions is Sunday, 4 August 2021 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.

Please note that AGU Fall Meeting 2021 will be in New Orleans, Louisiana & online everywhere

We look forward to receiving your abstract!
