Biography
Pat Meere graduated with a BSc in Geology from University College Galway in 1988 and went on to study for a PhD in structural geology at University College Cork, graduating in 1992. In 1992 he was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship to carry out postdoctoral studies on Variscan vein systems at the University of Leeds. He returned to Ireland in 1995 and took up a lecturing position in the Department of Geology in 1999. His research adopts a multidisciplinary approach to looking at Irish Variscan deformation and has set him on a path that has led him to looking at many different aspects of this and related orogens.
