Fangqun Yu (Atmospheric Sciences Research Center State University of New York at Albany):“New particle formation and size-resolved particle microphysics: Implications for human health, climate forcing, and climate intervention.” Abstract: New particle formation (or nucleation), the molecular process that drives the formation of new particles in the nanometer size range, is a key source of atmospheric […]

Luca Brocca (CNR-IRPI): “Playing the water cycle game: data from space for flood risk mitigation and better managing water resources.” Abstract Climate change is profoundly affecting the global water cycle, increasing the likelihood and severity of extreme water-related events. Droughts are becoming more frequent and intense. Extreme precipitation events are more localised and of unprecedented […]

Abstract Snow cover in the Alpine region has strong effects on the Earth’s climate, environmental processes, and socio-economic activities. Over the last 50 years, the region experienced a reduction of 5.6% per decade in snow cover duration (Matiu et al., 2021), a phenomenon already affecting a region where the economy and culture revolve, to a large […]
