LAB GROUP

Dr. Qiang Sun (Postdoc)

Kayla Washington (Graduate Student, ODU)

Noah Hendricks (Undergraduate Student, ODU)

Dr. Molini received her Master’s degree in environmental sciences (summa cum laudæ) from the University of Genova (Italy) with a Major in Physics of Atmosphere, and her Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Genova and the University of Basilicata (Italy) with a major in Hydroclimatology. 

She is currently an Associate Professor in the River-Coastal Science and Engineering Department at Tulane University. Before joining Tulane University, she was an Associate Professor in the Civil Infrastructure and Environmental Engineering Department of Khalifa University of Science and Technology with a joint appointment at Masdar Institute, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a Research Associate at Duke University, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, with a joint appointment at the Nicholas School of the Environment. She also served as a data manager and analyst in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Field Inter-comparison of Rainfall Intensity Gauges at the Italian Air-force Meteorological Center of Vigna di Valle, Rome, Italy.

Her research focuses on the connections between the hydrological cycle, vegetation, and climate, embracing several related research topics such as hybrid physically-based/stochastic models for ecohydrology, hydrometeorology, land/vegetation-atmosphere interactions at global, regional, and local scales, plant hydraulics, boundary layer meteorology and the modeling of extreme hydrological and environmental processes such as severe droughts and flash-floods. Over the last ten years, she developed her research agenda at the interface between hydrology, physical climatology, ecohydrology, and sustainability sciences spanning different fields related to water resources availability and food/water security in a changing climate, changes in the precipitation regime, and the ecohydrology of saline environments.

She is an Editor for Hydrological Processes (Wiley), where she is responsible for handling submissions in the field of ecohydrology, stochastic hydrology, and hydrometeorology, and an Associate Editor for Water and Wastewater Management (Frontiers in Environmental Science). In 2021, she served as an Expert team member (Arabian Peninsula) of the COP26 ‘Visions for a Net Zero Future’, in collaboration with Cambridge University UK.

I am a coastal geoscientist and use both field data and physical delta experiments to understand the interaction of river deltas and their marsh platforms. I am interested in how marshes, past and present, shape deltaic environments and how the information stored within deltaic marsh stratigraphy can help us better inform management of the world's coastal deltas. 

Research interests include Geography, Transboundary Watershed Management, Water Security, Water Rights, Indigenous Water Rights and Relationships, Complex Systems, Global Rivers
