2018 Fall Meeting

10-15 December

With continued growth in renewable energy, there is increasing international demand to understand and to develop renewable energy sources, including wind. Wind and solar power are growing and sustainable sources of energy world-wide. Earth Sciences plays a large and increasing role in identifying locations for harnessing wind energy; examining potential impacts and forecasting renewable energy for dissemination in electrical grids. This session welcomes all Earth Sciences research on wind energy including: wake effects, habitat impacts, climatological studies, boundary layer modeling, wind measurements particularly from new studies, forecasting, and integration of wind into energy grids. Early career scientists, individuals from under-represented groups, international colleagues, and those involved in cross-disciplinary research are particularly encouraged to both submit and attend. This session is being coordinated with the other proposed sessions on Renewable Energy, including those on Marine Renewable Energy.
