Cities are drivers of local environmental change and foci of adaptation and mitigation strategies. Given the dearth of urban-resolving observations, models are critical for simulating urban systems. These models, often fraught with uncertainties and crude assumptions, also allow us to examine future changes and explore hypothetical scenarios. This session invites submissions on modeling efforts, including new parameterizations, datasets, and validation, to advance the representation of coupled human–urban–Earth dynamics across scales: i.e., from large-eddy simulations to mesoscale models to Earth system models. Potential topics include (not limited to): Urban biophysical and biogeochemical processes; Urban vegetation and its spatiotemporal variability; Building energy systems, transportation energy use, and associated emissions; Urban morphology and heterogeneity; Urban air pollution and its physical and chemical interactions; Dynamic urbanization across regions; Interactions between socioeconomic processes and physical systems. We encourage submissions on process-based, data-driven, machine learning, and hybrid modeling approaches, along with their associated data products.
