[GeoForAll-UrbanScience] A quick favor -- information on the city your GeoForAll lab is near

[Charles Schweik]

Thanks Patrick!

Urban Science colleagues, a favor:

Please add your information to the bottom of our wiki page [1]

(1) Your name,
(2) nearest city you might collaborate with,
(3) what kinds of climate change threats it need to deal with in the
future, and
(4) the lat\long of that city (or your lab if it is co-located).

I hope to use this for a grant proposal and develop a figure for use for
this and other proposals on where we are globally.

Thanks,
Charlie
