However, for Urban Metabolism to grow as a useful research framework, coupled urban biogeophysical and socio-economic systems need better understanding. We invite theoretical or applied studies spanning the spectrum of urban metabolism research. Topics of interest include urban coupled-human natural interactions, urban biogeochemistry, urban hydrology and energy budgets, and spatio-temporal modeling of urban systems that examine the limits and potential of the Urban Metabolism concept.<\/p>\n<p>Please see <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.agu.org\/fallmeeting\/scientific-program\/session-search\/108\">http:\/\/sites.agu.org\/fallmeeting\/scientific-program\/session-search\/108<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Geophysical Union (AGU) Special Session B22: Characterizing, Modeling and Extending Urban Metabolism Conveners: Nathan Phillips (BU), Lucy Hutyra (BU), Mark Friedl (BU), and Stephanie Pincetl (UCLA) Submission Deadline: August 4, 2011 Description: Urban Metabolism, a biological metaphor for the coupled biophysical and socio-economic function of cities, has been a productive framework for urban biogeophysical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4680,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4680"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":435,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433\/revisions\/435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ultra-ex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
