Josep M. Pares received a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Barcelona in 1988. He was a Research Scientist at the Institute of Earth Sciences (CSIC) in Barcelona from 1989 to 1998, and manager of the Paleomagnetism Laboratory. He joined the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Michigan in 1998.
Although primarily a structural geologist, Professor Pares' interests include paleomagnetism and rock-magnetism, and their application to geologic problems and to the history of Earth's magnetic field. He conducts both laboratory-based and field-based research. Recent activities include the study of fabric development in rocks and sediments, Cenozoic magnetic stratigraphy in the Tibetan Plateau and magnetoarchaeology in cave sediments.
