Research team and environment

The reference person (Katinka Bellomo) is a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship holder for 2021-2023 with a related project ('CliMOC: Climate Impacts of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation). Katinka holds a Ph.D. In Meteorology and Physical Oceanography from University of Miami and has previously worked as a postdoctoral scientist at Columbia University and the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). She has documented expertise in the proposed topic, including a publication that was published on Science. She has experience collaborating on projects and also supervising Ph.D. Students. In addition she maintains active collaborations with several research groups in Italy, Europe and the United States. Jost von Hardenberg, full professor at Politecnico di Torino would be the official supervisor to the Ph.D. Student, and there would be a group of close collaborators: Oliver Mehling who is a Ph.D. Student working at Politecnico and funded by the ITN Ph.D. Program ('Critical Earth'), and additional collaborators from the National Research Council-Institute of Atmospheric Science and Climate (CNR-ISAC) in Torino and Bologna (Paolo Davini, Virna Meccia and Susanna Corti) who are leading experts of climate variability and change. Additional funding that is related to this topic comes from H2020 project TiPES (Tipping Elements in the Climate System) and ROADMAP (The Role of ocean dynamics and Ocean-Atmosphere interactions in Driving cliMAte variations and future Projections of impact-relevant extreme events): both of these projects were funded to a consortium of international research centers and universities, with whom the Ph.D. Candidate would be able to collaborate during their Ph.D. The Ph.D. Candidate would therefore be exposed to a large and vibrant research community through existing funded projects and networks from the supervisors, nationally and internationally.
