Scholar-generated biography
Costanza Rodda is a Lecturer at Imperial College London specializing in rotating fluids and stratified turbulence. Her research focuses on experimental and numerical studies of internal wave turbulence, baroclinic instability, and gravity wave emission from jets and fronts. She investigates large-scale circulation dynamics, climate dynamics, and extreme events in atmospheric and oceanic flows. Her work includes laboratory experiments and simulations to understand the transition from geostrophic flows to inertia-gravity waves, as well as the role of differential heating and rotation in shaping turbulent behavior. Rodda's research contributes to understanding the dynamics of mid-latitude atmospheric circulation and polar warming scenarios.
