About
Adele is a PhD fellow in the Climate System group. Her research focuses on land-climate interactions, specifically aiming for a holistic assessment of the biogeophysical and biogeochemical impacts of nature-based solutions, land use, and land cover changes, using Earth System modelling.
She places particular emphasis on investigating global-scale processes related to biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and their effects on atmospheric chemistry, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, and consequently, on clouds and the radiative balance.
She has an MSc in Physics from the University of Milan, Italy and she carried out her Master's thesis at the University of Oslo, Norway. Her Master's project explored the climatic impacts of an expected poleward migration of the boreal forest in the Arctic due to rising global temperatures, using the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM2) to estimate the radiative forcing of the vegetation-BVOC-SOA-cloud feedback in comparison to the effects of surface albedo changes.
