Donatella Pasqualini

I am a physicist in the Computational Earth Science Group in Earth and Environmental Sciences Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA). My general interests and expertise lie in modeling complex phenomena by simulations with applications those range from geophysics to energy-socio-climate systems.

I focus my research on climate change mitigation and adaptation recognizing that both mitigation and adaptation are necessary in reducing the risks of climate change impacts. I am part of an ongoing sustainability initiative involving Sonoma County, CA, developing an integrated assessment framework to assist Sonoma County develop a renewable energy portfolio to reduce greenhouse gas emission reductions required by California’s Assembly Bill 32 (2006).
