El meu perfil

Miguel Garcés is professor at the Department of the Earth and Ocean Dynamics, Faculty of Earth Sciences. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Barcelona, and his post-doctoral experience includes a post-doctoral fellowship at the Utrecht University and at the Institute of Earth-Sciences Jaume Almera (CSIC) of Barcelona. Currently a member of the Geomodels Research Institute, and the Research Group in Geodynamics and Basin Analysis (GGAC) of the University of Barcelona.

As stratigrapher he has focused his research in the application of Paleomagnetism and Rock Magnetism to Chronostratigraphy, Basin Analysis and the Cenozoic Paleogeography of the Mediterranean and Alpine regions. Specially interested in the integration of magnetostratigraphy with other chronostratigraphic and geochronometric disciplines in order to contribute to the refinement of the Geological Time Scale.

Also involved in projects oriented to Structural Geology, Paleomagnetic rotations and Tectonics, Magmatic and tectonic processes in mid-Ocean Ridges and Canary Islands, Magnetic Fabrics as paleoflow indicators in both sediments and intrusive rocks, etc. He joined the ODP cruise to Leg 209 in the mid-Atlantic, focused on the study the lithospheric accretion processes at slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges. Also, he participated in projects on the geodynamic evolution of the alpine thrust-belt from Western Europe to Central Asia.

He has raised funds from the European Community, by promoting and participating in the steering committee of the ESF research networking programme (EARTHTIME-EU: The European Contribution), aimed to trigger a multidisciplinary collaborative platform for the calibration the Geological Time Scale. He is a participant in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2019) Signal Propagation In Source To Sink For The Future Of Earth Ressources And Energies (S2s-Future).

Recent interests are focused in: 1) understanding of the climatic vs tectonic forcing mechanism of sedimentary sequences, 2) Cyclostratigraphic analysis of sedimentary sequences in order to assess Climate (orbital) forcing through its impact on surface processes; 3) Propagation of climate signal across sedimentary systems, and 4) the paleogeographic evolution of the peri-Tethyan region and the Alpine orogenic belt.
