Physics Talk: Dario Falcone, '20

Join the Department of Physics for a lecture by Dario Falcone, '20,a 5th-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of California at Davis, titled "Reimaging cumulus cloud convection through the lens of the KRoNUT Model."

Falcone explores the complex physics of clouds and their role in climate uncertainty. Specializing in atmospheric modeling, he introduces his novel Kinematic Representation of Non-rotating Updraft Tori (KRoNUT) model—a new framework for understanding cumulus cloud behavior and improving their representation in climate models. His research offers fresh insights into the hidden dynamics of cloud formation and the importance of cloud-scale circulations in shaping Earth's climate future.
