Research activity: Earth System processes and climate dynamics

 

 

Climate change and the mountain environment

 

                

 

My interest is on the effects of climatic and environmental variability on the mountain environment,

using data-based approaches, conceptual models and climate change impact models. Most of

these activities are part of the Project of strategic interest NextData, of the Italian Ministry of

University, Education and Research (MIUR), http://www.nextdataproject.it. In particular, I focus on

 

1. Hydrological cycle in mountain regions

 

My interest is on the properties of precipitation in high-altitude areas, the dynamics of snow cover,

the response of mountain glaciers to climate variability, and the impact of climate change on

water resources. Approaches include both empirical models and physically-based glacier and

snow models. Climate change scenarios are obtained from the global climate model EC-Earth

(http://ecearth.knmi.nl/ and www.to.isac.cnr.it/ecearth/), run at ISAC-CNR,

and from non-hydrostatic atmospheric models. Areas of interest are the Alpine region and the

Indu-Kush – Himalaya – Karakoram (HKKH) area, where we study the interaction between

the Indian monsoon and midlatitude western weather patterns. We have developed and

implemented stochastic downscaling methods for the precipitation estimates produced

by global and regional climate models. Many of these activities are pursued in the framework

of a research collaboration between ISAC and the Ev-K2-CNR Committee (Italy),

www.evk2cnr.org, also in the framework of the Ev-K2-CNR SHARE project PAPRIKA

Karakoram devoted to assessing the state of the cryosphere and of water resources in the

Karakoram range. I participate in the activities of the European Climate Research Alliance

(ECRA), coordinating the Collaborative Programme Changes in the hydrological cycle"

http://ecra-climate.eu/index.php/collaborative-programmes/hydrocycle and I am a member of

the "Comitato Glaciologico Italiano (CGI)", http://www.glaciologia.it/.

Part of the research activities described here are included in the national 2010 PRIN project

Innovative methods for water resources management and risk assessment under uncertainty.

 

   

 

2. Mountain ecosystems

 

My interest is on the impact of climate change on the population dynamics of selected

species (ungulates such as the Alpine ibex and chamois, birds such as Black Grouse

and Ptarmigan), the dynamics of mountain ecosystems such as high-altitude alpine

lakes, and the study of mountain biodiversity and its response to climate change.

Many of these activities are pursued in the framework of a long-standing research

collaboration between ISAC and the Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy), www.pngp.it. 

Some of these research activities are carried on in the framework of the EU FP7 project

ACQWA,  http://www.acqwa.ch, of EU-funded Interreg projects managed by ARPA

Piemonte, and of the Interreg ALCOTRA Program,

http://www.regione.piemonte.it/agri/osserv_faun/documentazione/dwd/prog_ricerca/desc_tec.pdf.

 

 

 

                                       

 

 

 

 

 Ecosystem dynamics and climate-biosphere interactions

 

 

  

      


Living organisms are affected by the physical environment and by climate, and, in turn, modify them,

possibly leading to the coevolution of the physical and biotic world. My research activities concern

the role of vegetation and soil moisture in determining evapotranspiration fluxes and mitigating summer

droughts at continental midlatitudes, the dynamics of the soil-vegetation system in arid and semi-arid

regions using both implicit-space and explicit-space approaches, the role of ecosystem engineers, and the

use of a hierarchy of climate models with different complexity (from Energy Balance Models to EC-Earth)

to study basic processes in climate-biosphere dynamics and planetary habitability. I am involved in the

European COST Action ES0805: TERRABITES - The Terrestrial Biosphere in the Earth System,

http://www.terrabites.net/. Parallel to these activities, I am also involved in data analysis and empirical

modelling of ecosystem dynamics and population dynamics.

 

I participate in the activities of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), coordinating

the Ecosystems Task, http://www.earthobservations.org/index.shtml.

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

Geophysical fluid dynamics and climate processes

 

  



In past years, I have studied turbulence and coherent vortices in rotating geophysical flows,

and the effects they have on transport processes. Currently, I am interested in the basic fluid

dynamical processes of climate variability, including transport of heat and water vapor in the

atmosphere, climate predictability, the global hydrological cycle and long-term paleoclimatic

simulations. To this end, we use conceptual models (eg, 1-D EBM), simplified global climate

models such as the Planet Simulator,

http://www.mi.uni-hamburg.de/Planet-Simulator.216.0.html?&L=3, and the global climate

model EC-Earth, http://www.to.isac.cnr.it/ecearth.

 

 


 

 

 

Dissemination and outreach, scientific documentaries:

 

Parallel to research activities, this group is involved in dissemination and outreach actions

including writing popular science articles, contributing to public exhibitions and participating

in the realisation of scientific documentaries. The documentary

Going North: Global warming escape route by Eugenio Manghi (2008)

is devoted to the effects of climate change on the distribution of plants and animals and

to the role of biological corridors. A 20-min version of this documentary is available for

CNR-related events. A 15-min documentary on the population dynamics of the

Black Grouse in the western Alps is also available. A picture exhibition with 60 images on

biodiversity in alpine prairies in the western Alps is available for display.

Popular articles and a booklet on climate dynamics are available (in Italian).

The volume Che cosa il Global Warming? (in Italian), for mid-school students,

was published in 2011 and it is now being translated into English for distribution

in mountain schools of northern Pakistan and Nepal.
