US CLIVAR Related Sessions at the 2026 Annual AMS Meeting
The 106th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society will take place January 25-29, 2026 in Houston, Texas, and online. Featuring sessions on the history, accuracy, and evolution of conceptual models, the theme, "Fast and slow thinking: The human factor in a rapidly changing world," will explore the role of human decision-making in advancing public safety, economic prosperity, and sustainability. Abstract submission deadlines vary by session, with many having a deadline of August 14, 2025.
