Scholar-generated biography
Gabriele Manoli is an Assistant Professor at EPFL, specializing in urban climate, ecohydrology, and urban complexity. Her research explores the interactions between urban environments and climate systems, focusing on the impacts of vegetation, water resources, and land use on urban microclimates. She investigates how urban heat islands are influenced by climate and population dynamics, as well as the role of green and blue infrastructure in mitigating urban warming. Her work also addresses ecohydrological processes, such as water fluxes, plant water storage, and the effects of land cover changes on urban hydrology and thermal comfort. Manoli's research integrates modeling and field observations to understand and manage urban climate challenges.
