Julio Calvo-Alvarado, como Rector del Tecnol\u00f3gico impuls\u00f3 su transformaci\u00f3n con el aumento de la matr\u00edcula, la apertura de nuevas sedes y fortalecimiento de las existentes, la apertura de nuevas carreras, la formaci\u00f3n de doctores, el fortalecimiento de la investigaci\u00f3n, la extensi\u00f3n y la internacionalizaci\u00f3n, la acreditaci\u00f3n del 100% de sus carreras y la acreditaci\u00f3n internacional del TEC bajo el modelo Frances (HCERES). \u00a0
Sus investigaciones se centran en generar conocimiento y herramientas para la toma de decisiones t\u00e9cnicas y pol\u00edticas que permitan una planificaci\u00f3n acertada de los recursos naturales. Algunas de estas herramientas e informaci\u00f3n apuntan a la aplicaci\u00f3n de modelos para simular el efecto del uso de la tierra en el ciclo del agua, la erosi\u00f3n y sedimentaci\u00f3n en cuencas, la aplicaci\u00f3n y calibraci\u00f3n de sensores remotos y SIG para el estudio de la din\u00e1mica de cambio del uso de la tierra, la ecolog\u00eda de los bosques tropicales,\u00a0 la evaluaci\u00f3n del cambio clim\u00e1tico y la generaci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n sobre la restauraci\u00f3n natural o a trav\u00e9s de la reforestaci\u00f3n de sitios degradados.
Para el logro de la transferencia de estas herramientas y conocimientos ha participado activamente en la gesti\u00f3n universitaria, de organizaciones no gubernamentales de Costa Rica e Internacionales, en foros y reuniones a fin de impulsar el concepto de desarrollo sostenible y conservaci\u00f3n de los recursos naturales.
Como profesor ha dirigido decenas de tesis de grado y postgrado e impartido cursos de Hidro climatolog\u00eda, Suelos Tropicales y Manejo y Conservaci\u00f3n de Recursos Naturales.

Su producci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica incluye cerca de 180 publicaciones y es un activo revisor para en varias revistas cientificas. Es Miembro de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Costa Rica y Condecorado \u201cCaballero en la Orden de las Palmas Acad\u00e9micas\u201d por Gobierno Franc\u00e9s 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
