Daniel Mercado Bettin

Investigador postdoctoral

Scientist and modeller building hybrid process-based and machine-learning models across hydrology and limnology — rivers, lakes, reservoirs and aquifers — from flood hydraulics and groundwater modelling to water quality and seasonal reservoir forecasting.

Currently working on research projects: NEREIDA, IntoDBP, Alter-C, InventWater

IP: Rafael Marcé.

PROJECTS

Digital twins for the prediction and management of water quality and coastal dynamics in the internal basins of Catalonia

The main objective of this research project is to co-develop digital twins for predicting water quantity and quality in the Ter and Tordera basins, including catchments, reservoirs and coastal areas, contributing to efficient water resource management, protecting ecosystems and maximising water security in a climate change context.

Alteration of carbon sinks and sources in shrinking inland waters: ecosystem metabolism (Alter-C)

The goal of the Alter-C coordinated project is to understand how C sinks and sources in inland waters are affected by reductions in current and future conditions. Alter-C combines cutting-edge methodologies with an integrative perspective, including river networks, lakes, ponds and reservoirs.

Innovative Tools to Control Organic Matter and Disinfection Byproducts in Drinking Water (intoDBP)

In a context in which prolonged periods of drought are becoming more frequent, the intoDBP project takes on special importance for its innovative approach to water management. The project aims to improve water quality and minimize exposure to harmful disinfection byproducts.

Inventive forecasting tools to adapt water quality management to a new climate (inventWater)

InventWater will form a new generation of professionals capable of uniting fields with data science, climate, hydrology and water ecology, and who develop the necessary capabilities to translate the knowledge and technical innovations into useful products for the managers.
