As growing efforts around the world explore potential solutions to deal with the impacts of a warming climate, Fulton Schools Assistant Professor Ariane Middel is stepping into the role of president of the International Association for Urban Climate, the leading global organization focused on urban climate science and scholarship. She will guide the organization of more than 1,000 members worldwide for the next four years. With much of the world experiencing climate crisis situations, the group’s work is more important than ever, says Middel, who also directs ASU’s SHaDE Lab and is on the leadership team of ASU’s Urban Climate Research Center.
