ICREA Research Professor at UAB-ICTA (UAB-Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
|
Born and bred in Barcelona, after completing a final year project in organic Air Pollution to earn his IQS higher degree, moved to England in 1990. There he pursued a PhD in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol (completed in 1994) supervised by G. Eglinton on the application of biomarkers to decipher natural causes of climate change. This has become the central topic of his research career. In 1994 he joined the group of J. Maxwell as a post-doctoral researcher also in the School of Chemistry of Bristol. In 1996 he moved as a NERC fellow to the Department of Fossil Fuels and Environmental Geochemistry at the University of Newcastle, England. In 1999 became a lecturer in the department of Geography at Durham University, England, until 2001, when he became an ICREA Research Professor. He has published more than 50 papers in international journals, including Nature and Science, and has taken part in research projects worldwide, mainly in the Atlantic, Arctic and Siberia.
