From December 9th to 13th, 2024, our research group presented several key works at the prestigious American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in Washington D.C., USA.
Maria Deandra Crisostomo Andal (Dea), a second-year Master’s student, successfully delivered an oral presentation on a collaborative project. The following topic investigates the critical interplay between atmospheric chemistry and urban environments by coupling an atmospheric chemistry model with an urban canopy model.
- “Investigating the influence of distributed anthropogenic heating to simulated atmospheric chemistry (by Dea)” presented together with Alvin C.G. Varquez, Manabu Kanda, Shikan Nagata, Masayuki Takigawa, Prabir Kumar Patra, Paul T Griffiths, Natsumi Kawano, Quang Van Doan, and Akio Yamakami
Additionally, Alvin presented two research topics:
- “Prescribing spatio-temporally varying anthropogenic heat emissions into a global climate model: Methods and Impacts”: This work, conducted in collaboration with Masuo Nakano, Makoto Nakayoshi, Yuya Takane, and Do Ngoc Khanh, explores the significant impacts of global anthropogenic heat emissions (AHE) on global weather patterns.
- “Integrated assessment model-informed tool for generating 1-km global projections of anthropogenic heat emission”: This research, co-authored with Mitsuna Sekiya, Do Ngoc Khanh, Atsushi Inagaki, Manabu Kanda, Tomohiko Ihara, and Norihiro Itsubo, focuses on developing a robust tool for generating high-resolution global projections of AHE. The research is related to Mitsu’s ongoing Masteral work.
Despite the challenges of a long journey and a brief illness during the conference, the AGU Fall Meeting provided invaluable opportunities for learning and growth. Engaging with leading experts in the field through insightful discussions and feedback has significantly informed the direction of our ongoing research. The conference also fostered valuable connections within our team and strengthened existing relationships with international researchers.
The interdisciplinary nature of the AGU Fall Meeting broadened our perspectives on current research challenges. It allowed us to identify key similarities and recent advancements in our respective fields.
Our group committed to contributing to a more sustainable future through rigorous research and impactful collaborations. By engaging with the esteemed researchers we met at the conference, we aim to make significant contributions to our field while continuously expanding our knowledge and expertise.
