Francisco Calafat’s research is organised around three core themes, namely the physics of sea-level changes, the influence of climate change on extreme weather and the transport of heat and freshwater by ocean circulation. To study these topics, he analyses observations from a variety of in-situ and space-based instruments as well as data from numerical climate models using theory and cutting-edge statistical methods.
Francisco Calafat teaches courses in oceanography and general physics.
