Notte Europea dei Ricercatori, 27 novembre 2020

logo notte dei ricercatori

Quest'anno potete rimanere comodamente sul divano e passare da un evento realizzato a Bologna a quello registrato a Lamezia Terme semplicemente con un paio di click sulla tastiera. Tutti i progetti finanziati per il 2020 dalla Commissione Europea sono stati infatti realizzati online - 27 Novembre 2020. 
Consultate i programmi, registrarvi alle piattaforme se richiesto e godetevi lo spettacolo realizzato da ISAC per il 2020:

Can Coronavirus be in the Air? Only in the crowded areas

Fig.1

A multidisciplinary study, conducted in May 2020, analyses the atmospheric concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in Venice and Lecce, highlighting the implications for airborne transmission. The study, published in Environment International, was conducted by Cnr-Isac, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Cnr-Isp, and Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Puglia e della Basilicata.

A New Method for Hail Detection from the GPM Constellation

Daily sequence of the stronger hailstorms on the Adriatic coast, 10 July 2019

CNR-ISAC researchers, have developed a method to identify the signal-emitted by hailstones inside the storms and monitor the evolution of hail clouds with high temporal rate. The study, carried with the collaboration of US research team of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Maryland, will allow to better understand the distribution of frozen hydrometeors inside the thunderstorm improving the current knowledge on the formation mechanisms of hail clouds in a changing climate.

Institutional visit by the regional councillor Sandra Savaglio to the CNR-ISAC headquarter in Lamezia Terme: "Calabrian excellence"

The Regional Councillor for Research, University and Education of the Calabria Region Sandra Savaglio visited the ISAC headquarter in Lamezia Terme.

The visit allowed the councillor, an internationally renowned scientist, to learn more about the research activities carried out in the institute: from the measurements of natural and anthropogenic sources, useful for the observation of polluting and climate-altering dynamics, to specific atmospheric studies related to intense weather events.

Researches in Antarctica: Isac still present

Strumenti  per studi di microfisica della precipitazione (in rosso) istallati su un container della stazione Mario Zucchelli in Antartide

For the seasonal reopening of the Zucchelli base in Antarctica, among the 5 CNR researchers who took part in this year's expedition, there is Dr. Alessandro Bracci Cnr-Isac associate researcher, PhD student at the University of Bologna who works on multidisciplinary issues focused on the microphysics of precipitation.

Dr. Bracci was recently interviewed by the journal Green blue in an interesting article that highlights the role of Italian scientists in Antarctica: among penguin mummies, melting ice and anti-Covid measurements".
