Climate Change & stratospheric water vapour & extreme events

I start this group briefly presenting my research activity.

I study the connection between extreme events (such as tropical cyclones, heat waves, convective systems) and climate change: the impact that climate change has on the intensity of these phenomena and the reverse impact that some extreme event like tropical cyclones have on the climate change. For example it has been demonstrated that the increase of stratospheric water vapour influences the Earth Radiative Budget and I study the water vapour by using GPS technology.

My name is Simonetta Rubol,

I am interested in understanding processes at small scall (micro-meter to meter) and how they can be used to improve bottom -up model (upscaling). I am trying to understand how water dynamics (e.g., rainfall, changes in watr table etc) affect  oxygen dynamics and the development of hotspots in soils.  The  climate change effects on  water quality (including riverbed, artificial recharge facilities and so on) and C-N cycle  processes (e.g., DNRA, denitrification, respiration ) are another area of interest.

My work relies on both models and experiments (lab). More information on my work  can be found on researchgate or on the profile here in the Marie Curie Alumni. I am looking forward to potential collaboation. :-)

Cheers,

Simonetta
