EFD Seminar Series: Characterizing Turbulent Transport in Realistic Atmospheric Boundary Layers

-

Location: Cushing Hall of Engineering 303

Join us for an engaging seminar with Dr. Marco Giometto, Assistant Professor at Columbia University and Amazon Visiting Academic, as he explores the complexities of atmospheric turbulence in natural and built environments. Traditional models of boundary layers rely on idealized conditions, but real-world atmospheric flows are shaped by unsteady forces, three-dimensionality, and complex surface morphologies, leading to significant prediction challenges.

Dr. Giometto will discuss cutting-edge research addressing departures from equilibrium, shear-strain misalignment, and large-scale secondary circulations, offering insights into how these phenomena impact weather, climate models, and environmental fluid dynamics.

This talk is a must-attend for those interested in atmospheric science, fluid mechanics, and land-atmosphere interactions. Don't miss the chance to learn about the latest advances in turbulent transport research and its implications for environmental prediction.
