A CNR-ISAC study recently published on Eos offers a more complete view of the distribution of hail in the Mediterranean, highlighting how Italy is the country most exposed to hailstorms of greater intensity. The study also led to the development of the first high-resolution global map of hail events.

Il CNR-ISAC è tra gli organizzatori insieme al Gruppo di Fisica dell’Atmosfera del Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia dell’Università di Bologna e l’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia di un ciclo di seminari rivolti agli studenti del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fisica del Sistema Terra. Tali seminari hanno come scopo quello di stimolare la curiosità degli studenti verso nuove e recenti attività di ricerca.

In the 16th century, the need to defend itself and maintain dominance over the territories of northern Italy led the Serenissima government to transform the vessel into an agile means of defence, equipped with two rostrums to sink enemy ships. There are few documentary sources that reveal this process of war adaptation, which was subjected to a veritable state secret throughout the century. This is revealed by a study by CNR-Isac published in the journal 'Méditerranée - Journal of Mediterranean Geography.

Published on Nature Communications a new study by two ISAC-CNR Bologna researchers, Claudia Simolo and Susanna Corti. The study provides new elements for understanding the complex behavior of extreme events in present and future climate, evidencing key factors for their intensification. Research identifies temperature variability as a key factor for the frequency and intensity of such events.
