[Infopoint]

Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to the ICTP Colloquium on "Noise and 
Climate Dynamics" by Prof. Angelo Vulpiani, University of La Sapienza, Rome.

The Colloquium will take place on Wednesday 12 November 2025 at 14:00 
hrs CET, and live-streamed.

Biosketch:

Angelo Vulpiani is a distinguished theoretical physicist known for his 
contributions to chaos theory, complexity, and non-equilibrium systems. 
He earned his degree in Physics from the University of La Sapienza in 
Rome in 1977, where he later became a Full Professor of Theoretical 
Physics. His research spans stochastic resonance, multifractal analysis 
in turbulence, diffusion, and transport in chaotic systems, and the 
application of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to a wide range of 
physical and biological phenomena.

Vulpiani has published over 300 papers and authored 11 books, with his 
work cited nearly 25,000 times. His achievements have earned him 
numerous accolades, including the 2021 Statistical and Nonlinear Physics 
Prize from the European Physical Society and the 2023 Richardson Medal 
from the European Geosciences Union. In addition to his academic 
positions at La Sapienza, Vulpiani has been a key figure at 
international institutions such as the GSSI in L'Aquila and the John 
Bell Institute. His pioneering work continues to shape the understanding 
of complex dynamical systems in both theory and application.

Abstract:

In physics noise is usually associated with small and fast perturbations 
on the system under study, i.e. something we want to get rid off. 
However, in complex systems, like turbulent flows and climate dynamics, 
noise should be considered as the result of different dynamical processes 
which we cannot neglect. In this talk I discuss the effect of climate 
noise: after a short review of the paleoclimatic data and the pioneering 
work of Hasselmann, I describe the mechanism of Stochastic Resonance and 
its relevance in climate changes.
Light refreshments will be served after the event.
