Urban IDEAS

Building from the successes of the MultiSector Dynamics (MSD) Urban Working Group seminars, we will host a series of monthly panel discussions focused on providing a venue for early career researchers (graduate students, post-docs and university and national laboratory early career staff) within the Urban Integrated Field Laboratories (IFL) program to share their research and discuss synergistic opportunities across projects, as well as providing an opportunity for the wider urban research community to understand and benefit from the ongoing activities of the IFL program. The aim of these panels is to facilitate collaborative and intellectually engaged discussions among peers about early-stage research with the primary objective to diversify and cross-pollinate ideas, and build community within the broader urban research community. The ideas presented in this discussion panel series will facilitate comparative research on methods for systematically and ethically incorporating anthropogenic processes into earth and environmental systems science.
