Thread on interesting #AGU2020 talks & posters I've run across. I will add new presentations over the next few weeks as I see them.
Run a climate model in python!

IN040-07 - Portable Python-wrapped FV3GFS global atmospheric model

Interesting paper about crop yields. Upshot: "CO2 is plant food" might be right, but higher temps and less water are plant killers. Net result is bad news for maize.

GC089-07 - Ensemble estimates of future extreme event impacts on global food production

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/752011
Lots of good data here about extreme heat and population exposure. Plus, a rock intro to the talk, which I really enjoyed.

GC089-06 - Global Urban Population Exposure to Extreme Heat by @Tuholske

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/669646
Just watched @KHayhoe's great talk in this session:
INV03 - Climate Change and the Coronavirus: Promoting Emerging Leaders Through Crucial Conversations

just watching it cheers me up!

the talk is on youtube, so anyone can watch:
Fascinating talk on the meteorological underpinnings of extreme heat+humidity events

GC081-05 - Controlling Factors of Global Heat-Humidity Extremes

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/771593
Fascinating talk on avoiding heat stress

NH019-02 - Heat and Health: Using physiological evidence to build resilience to a warming planet

Do not use a fan if it's > 95°F and dry. Also, they have a heat wave chamber where they can simulate heat waves.

We live in a gold age of data. Nice presentation of the NASA "black marble", a data set of light from cities and how it changes over time.

U003-01 - Battling COVID-19 from Space: Cross-Scale Changes in Urban Activity Captured by NASA's Black Marble
