简 介：
Dr. Thomas Giambelluca has been conducting research on the climate and hydrology of tropical regions for more than 30 years. He has led collaborative work on microclimate, energy balance, and the impacts of global climate change on the upper slopes of Haleakala Volcano, Maui Island, since 1987. His team is also studying cloud forest hydrology in native and invaded forests and on Maui and Hawai‘i Islands, mapping patterns of mean rainfall, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and evapotranspiration in Hawai‘i. He is operating two state-of-the-art eddy covariance flux towers in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, located in native and invaded cloud forest sites. Dr. Giambelluca also works extensively in other areas of the tropics, including Brazil and SE Asia, where he is currently studying the impacts of expanding rubber cultivation on regional water and carbon fluxes.
Connecting models and observations is essential in eco-hydrological research, including studies of watershed flows, evapotranspiration, and carbon sequestration. Three examples will be presented of studies involving an integrated modeling and field approach. The first example is a study of the effects of deforestation on radiation balance and evapotranspiration. In the second example, the impacts of upland farming in Southeast Asia on runoff were studied using several models, supported by intensive field measurement campaign. In the last example, the effects of expanding rubber plantation land use in Southeast Asia on water flows and carbon sequestration is currently being studied using a combination of flux tower observations and ecosystem modeling.
