The 13th Symposium of the Urban Environment is being held at the 97th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) from January 22-26 in Seattle Washington. Many UCRC faculty affiliates and their students will be authoring/presenting papers and posters, including:
Paul Chakalian, Peter Crank, Kamil Kaloush, Scott Krayenhoff, Alex Mahalov, Mohamed Moustaoui, Ariane Middel, David Sailor, Zhihua Wang, and others.

The International Association of Urban Climate (IAUC) recently announced that Ariane Middel, a faculty affiliate of the UCRC and Senior Sustainability Scientist in the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability was elected to a 4-year term (2016-2020) as a member of the Board. The IAUC is the premier international organization for researchers engaged in all aspects of urban climate scholarship.

In November, 2016 the new Urban Climate Research Center was officially approved by ASU Provost Mark Searle. We will be rolling out the official launch of the center over the coming weeks, including updates to the UCRC web site and associated social media infrastructure.
