Lecturers on 1st IMERP-XIV EJIP: Marc Furió

Workshop "New insights on Quaternary ecosystems" lecturers.

Marc Furió (Full researcher at Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) is the leading specialist in Neogene and Quaternary insectivores (nowadays represented by shrews, moles and hedgehogs) in Spain, with tens of SCI papers authored, and more than one hundred written contributions in the field of paleontology and related areas. His PhD was focused on the evolution of the Late Neogene and Early Pleistocene insectivore assemblages in Spain, creating a solid taxonomical framework for this group.  His posterior works have not been limited to taxonomy, but they unraveled significant patterns in paleobiogeography, paleobiology and  biostratigraphy. His field experience, among others, includes the active participation at the outstanding early-human site of Dmanisi (Georgia, Southern Caucasus) for more than ten years. Other than his specialized research, Dr. Furió is skilled in teaching and designing outreach activities, something that he has been doing for almost 15 years. His outputs in this field include conferences, popular science articles, book chapters, physical activities, experimental teaching support for elementary school and a personal blog.
