Daniel Calvete Manrique

Daniel Calvete Manrique is an Associate Professor at the School of Telecommunications and Aerospace Engineering (EETAC) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), where he holds a position in the Department of Physics. His academic journey includes a Degree in Physics from the University of Barcelona (1995) and a PhD in Physics from UPC (1999), focusing on morphological stability models. He conducted postdoctoral research at Utrecht University’s Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (1999–2002) and joined UPC’s Ramón y Cajal Program (2003–2008) before becoming an Associate Professor in 2008.

His research interests center on coastal morphodynamics, including sedimentary patterns on continental shelves, linear stability analysis, and dynamics of shoreface-connected ridges, crescentic bars, and beach cusps. He leads the DF-GeoTech group, which explores fluid dynamics and geophysical applications. Key contributions include numerical models for coastal evolution, bathymetric inversion techniques (e.g., UBathy), and studies on sediment transport mechanisms under wave and tidal influences.

His work integrates field data and numerical simulations to address coastal resilience, climate adaptation, and anthropogenic impacts. Collaborations span institutions like Utrecht University and the Catalan Institute of Water Research. He has authored over 200 publications, focusing on coastal processes, sediment dynamics, and geophysical fluid modeling.
