SULIS Mauro

About

My research focuses on the exchanges and feedback mechanisms within the integrated groundwater-to-atmosphere water-energy-carbon cycle, with a particular emphasis on the role of vegetation. To address fundamental research questions, I develop innovative coupling strategies that account for the varying spatial and temporal scales of the involved bio-geo-physical processes. My approach combines synergistic use of numerical simulations, multi-source observations, and novel data-driven approaches. I leverage high-performance computing technology while adhering to scientific and technical standards that promote the principles of sharing and reusing scientific discoveries.

Mission

I am Lead Research&Technology Scientist at LIST, where I lead a wide range of fundamental and applied research projects aimed at generating knowledge and providing decision support for pressing societal challenges such as agro-water management, environmental protection, ecosystems resilience, and food security. Additionally, I lead high-resolution, convection-permitting climate simulation activities, which will provide the scientific foundation for Luxembourg's next National Communication to the UNFCCC. My research is conducted in close collaboration with the Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM) scientific community, the EURO-CORDEX working group of the COSMO-CLM model, and the development team of the Terrestrial System Modeling Platform (TerrSysMP).
