Hello I'm Jacopo!

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Colorado - Boulder in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (ATOC).

I work as a Research Assistant in Professor Donata Giglio's research group where I am working on air-sea interactions. More specifically, I am currently investigating the impact of tropical cyclones on upper ocean properties (T, S, PD, ML properties) using Argo floats data and Argovis innovative capabilities.                                         

My second research project aims to estimate variability, trend and spatial distribution of Marine Heat Waves in the Pacific Ocean, leveraging the ECCO ocean reanalysis, the best possible estimates of ocean circulation and role in climate that combine state-of-the-art ocean circulation models with global ocean data sets.

I grew up in Milan, Italy where I pursued my B.S. in Environmental Sciences and Technologies in 2019 from the University degli Studi di Milano Bicocca. During my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to be a visiting student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, working on my B.S. thesis with Professor Jennifer E. Kay on Arctic Surface Amplification and Sea Ice Loss in Large Condition Ensembles.
