Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences

Lia Rapella

I am a PhD student at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (École Polytechnique), in Paris, in collaboration with the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement. My thesis is focused on modelling and assessing agrivoltaics as a solution to the climate-water-energy-food nexus in the context of climate change. My areas of interest include renewable energy, agrivoltaics, extreme atmospheric events and strategies for adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Off-shore wind energy plays a key role in the transition to a renewable energy (RE) system, and its usage is expected to increase in the next few decades. Nevertheless, wind energy is one of the most variable and weather-dependent RE, because of its natural dependence on the wind speed, which can vary at different time scales, ranging from small-scale turbulence to seasonal oscillations and up to ...[Read More]
