The 18th Conference on Weather, Water, Climate, and the New Energy Economy (18Energy) is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and organized by the AMS Energy and Renewable Energy Committees.
Call for Papers
Papers for this conference are solicited on:
Energy Security as Affected by Extreme Weather and Climate Events
Energy Storage, Distributed Resources, and Demand-Side Management
Extreme Weather & Climate Events for Energy Systems Resiliency
Forecast Evaluation and Use of Probabilistic Forecasts for Energy Applications
Hydrokinetic & Marine Energy
Grid Operations and Outage Prediction
Integrated Energy System Modeling
Abstracts submitted to this topic would ideally cover not only a single aspect of the energy system in isolation (e.g., resource assessment or forecasted generation from a single power plant or all plants of a single technology in a region), but rather multiple aspects of the energy system simultaneously.
Load Forecasting in a Transitioning Energy Economy
Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Forecasting Applications for Energy
Solar Energy Resource Assessment
Solar Energy Forecasting
Wind Energy Resource Assessment
Wind Energy Forecasting
Wind Flow and Wake Modeling
From Research to Regulations for Energy Systems
Green Hydrogen Systems
Impacts of Weather & Climate on the Oil, Gas, & Nuclear Sectors
Impacts of Energy Development & Production on Weather & Climate
Other Energy-Related Topics

Student Award Opportunities
Student Presentation Awards
The 18th Conference on Weather, Water, Climate, and the New Energy Economy is proud to provide outstanding student presentation awards at the AMS 107th Annual Meeting in Denver, CO 10-14 January 2027. Monetary awards of up to $200 will be distributed for oral presentations and poster presentations in addition to a PDF certificate from AMS. Students must be enrolled at a college or university at the time of submission and must be the lead author and personally present the work at the meeting. Submitters should indicate their eligibility for student awards when submitting their abstracts. Award recipients will be informed of the committee's decision by early February 2027.
