[Esip-disasters] Fwd: The late session on Harvey at AGU has eventuated

[Erin Robinson]

Hi All - I wanted to make you aware of a late breaking session at AGU on
Harvey. Note:  All abstracts submitted to it will *not* be subject to the
one-author rule so if you already have a paper in AGU in another session
you can submit to this one as well.

Best,
Erin


Dear all

Thanks so much for your helpful suggestions.

The late session on Harvey at AGU has eventuated and will be co-organised
by Natural Hazards and ESSI (Please note the abstract has data access and
assimilation in the session description as well as HPC and Cloud)

All abstracts submitted to it will not be subject to the one-author rule so
if you already have a paper in AGU in another session you can submit to
this one as well.

Details as follows:

*Submission Deadline: 31 October 2017 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.*

On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall as a Category 4
hurricane near Rockport, TX. This slow-moving storm hovered near Victoria,
TX, inundating nearby areas from Corpus Christi to Lake Charles, LA, with
record rainfall. Harvey’s staying power resulted in widespread and
catastrophic flooding in multiple areas, leading to discussions about the
effectiveness of evacuation protocols, planning and managing impacts of
urban flooding, and the use of social media to guide disaster rescue
efforts, particularly in large urban centers.

This session, potentially organized as multiple sessions, seeks a wide
breadth of contributions focusing on the events of Hurricane Harvey,
including crowdsourced data and social media in disaster response; policy
implications; high resolution remote sensing; flooding and infrastructure
damage; impacts on the environment and human health; changing coastal
landscapes; oceanographic, atmospheric, and climatic factors contributing
to the storm; data access and assimilation; HPC and cloud computing for
real time analysis.
