Pablo Martínez Granado
Researcher at the Universitat de Barcelona
Pablo M. Granado has a B.Sc. degree in Geology from the University of Oviedo (2005), and a M.Sc. in Tectonics from the Royal Holloway and Bedford New Collegue, University of London (2006). Ph.D. in Geology (2017, University of Barcelona). He was an exploration geologist with Rio Tinto Plc. working in Europe and North America, and a consultant geologist with Geomnia Natural Resources S.L. Currently he is a researcher and independent consultant geologist specialized in structural geology, geodynamics and basin analysis.
