Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Hydrology

Her primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Drainage basin, Ecology, Fractal and Surface runoff. Her Hydrology research integrates issues from Sea level rise and Communication channel. Her Drainage basin study deals with Climate change intersecting with Streamflow and Freshwater ecosystem.

Her research in Ecology intersects with topics in Metacommunity and Gross domestic product. While the research belongs to areas of Fractal, Andrea Rinaldo spends her time largely on the problem of Statistical physics, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Statistics, Scaling and Power law. Her Surface runoff research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil science, Soil water and Water resources.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fractal River Basins: Chance and Self-Organization (942 citations)
  • Size and form in efficient transportation networks (591 citations)
  • Size and form in efficient transportation networks (591 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Hydrology, Ecology, Drainage basin, Ecosystem and Streamflow are her primary areas of study. Her work in Hydrology tackles topics such as Vegetation which are related to areas like Sediment. Andrea Rinaldo interconnects Metacommunity and Biological dispersal in the investigation of issues within Ecology.

Her Drainage basin research focuses on Fractal and how it relates to Statistical physics. Her biological study deals with issues like Climate change, which deal with fields such as Wetland. Andrea Rinaldo has included themes like Snow, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences and STREAMS in her Streamflow study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (39.57%)
  • Ecology (36.39%)
  • Drainage basin (17.70%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (36.39%)
  • Transmission (6.34%)
  • Coronavirus disease 2019 (4.67%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Transmission, Coronavirus disease 2019, Metapopulation and Hydrology. Her work on Ecology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Spatial distribution. Andrea Rinaldo has researched Transmission in several fields, including Risk analysis and Basic reproduction number.

Her work in Coronavirus disease 2019 addresses subjects such as Econometrics, which are connected to disciplines such as Relaxation and Streamflow. Andrea Rinaldo studied Metapopulation and Spatial ecology that intersect with Evolutionary ecology, Distributed computing, Spanning tree, Biological dispersal and Metacommunity. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Hydrology, focusing on Lysimeter and, on occasion, Water use.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Spread and dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy: Effects of emergency containment measures. (414 citations)
  • Spread and dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy: Effects of emergency containment measures. (414 citations)
  • Estimating species distribution and abundance in river networks using environmental DNA. (51 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

Andrea Rinaldo focuses on Transmission, Ecology, Metacommunity, Coronavirus disease 2019 and Ecosystem. Her study in Transmission is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climatology, Stochastic modelling and Basic reproduction number. Her Basic reproduction number research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Outbreak, Age structure, Social distance and Econometrics.

Her Ecology study often links to related topics such as Biological dispersal. In general Coronavirus disease 2019, her work in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is often linked to Dynamics linking many areas of study. The concepts of her Habitat study are interwoven with issues in Channel, Spatial distribution, Climate change and Drainage basin.
