The Unit for Environment and Energy Modeling is an ENEA research initiative to support innovation in environmental management and to develop technologies for a sustainable economic developement.
Research activities in the Unit include modeling and observing regional climate systems, designing energy strategies and providing new technologies for the adaptation of infrastructures and human activities to environmental changes with special emphasis on low-carbon society.
UTMEA people are 63 researchers, 7 administratives and, at the moment, 4 young non-staff persons (undergraduate students, post-graduate students, post-graduate fellows, PhD students and research fellows)
Earth Science and Computer Science are the main area of UTMEA research. Scientists and economists also co-operate in the study of mitigation and adaptation to climate change
UTMEA publications are the main result of our scientific production. We have published 369 articles on ISI journals. 314 of them have been ISI-cited for a total of 7796 citations
UTMEA data is also a product of our scientific work. We produce experimental data (from in-situ instruments) and numerical data (produced by the run of numerical models)
