Juan Felipe Paniagua Arroyave

​Juan Felipe Paniagua-Arroyave está interesado en la mecánica de los paisajes planetarios, con énfasis en los procesos físicos superficiales y evolución de geoformas terrestres en ambientes costeros y deltaicos. Él combina observaciones de campo y sensores remotos con modelos de varias índoles con el fin de entender la morfodinámica a varias escalas, desde ripples sub-acuosos centímetricos controlados por flujo turbulento hasta la historia del nivel relativo del mar durante el Holoceno y la evolución costera y deltaica relacionada. Los estudios realizados por el Dr. Paniagua-Arroyave informan a tomadores de decisión sobre las tendencias en la evolución litoral, los impactos causados por actividades humanas y las amenazas relacionadas con procesos litorales como olas y corrientes extremas. Juan Felipe sirve actualmente como profesor auxiliar en el Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra y es líder de la línea de investigación en evolución de ambientes litorales en el grupo de investigación en Ciencias del Mar de la Escuela de Ciencias de la Universidad EAFIT.

Juan Felipe Paniagua-Arroyave is interested in planetary landscape mechanics with attention to Earth-surface physical processes and landform evolution at coastal and deltaic environments. He combines field and remote sensing observations with models to understand morphodynamics across scales, from centimeter, subaqueous ripples driven by flow turbulence to Holocene relative sea level history and related kilometer-scale coastal, estuarine, and deltaic evolution. Studies conducted by Dr. Paniagua-Arroyave informs decision makers on coastal evolution trends, impacts on littoral environments caused by human activities, and hazards related to processes such as extreme nearshore waves and currents. Juan Felipe currently serves as auxiliary professor of Earth sciences and research topic leader in the Marine Sciences Group in the School of Sciences at Universidad EAFIT.

​Investigación en mecánica del paisaje: evolución costera decadal y kilométrica, mecánica de acantilados y plataformas litorales, hidrodinámica de olas y corrientes costeras, transporte de sedimentos litoral, morfodinámica de geoformas centimétricas (ripples y dunas). Docencia enfocada desde cursos introductorios en recursos hídricos y ciencias marinas, hasta cursos avanzados en mecánica del paisaje tales como geomorfología y procesos costeros, métodos cuantitativos en geomorfología y mecánica de olas lineal y no-lineal.

Research in landscape mechanics: decadal and kilometer scale coastline evolution, cliff and platform mechanics, nearshore wave and currents hydrodynamics, nearshore sediment transport, centimeter-scale bedform morphodynamics. Teaching introductory courses in water resources and marine sciences, to advances courses in landscape mechanics such as coastal processes and geomorphology, quantitative methods in geomorphology, and linear/nonlinear water waves.
