The Universitat Jaume I has invested the geologist Xavier Querol as Doctor Honoris Causa in an academic ceremony in which the Professor of Chemical Engineering of the UJI Eliseo Monfort has acted as godfather. The event was chaired by the rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón; the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Ximo Puig; the vice-rector for Research and Transfer, Jesús Lancis, and the General Secretary of the UJI, Cristina Pauner.

**Biography**  
  
Research lecturer at the Institute of Environmental Diagnosis and Water Studies (IDAEA) of the Spanish  
Research Council (CSIC). His main field of research is environmental geochemistry, with a special interest in atmospheric pollution. He obtained a doctorate in Geological Sciences at the University of Barcelona and completed a postdoc at BGS-NERC, United Kingdom. He later joined the CSIC’s Jaume Almera Institute of Earth Sciences and, in 2008, the IDAEA. Dr Querol has led numerous national and EU projects, including AIRUSE, which recently received the award for the best LIFE Green City project of the EU’s Environment General-Directorate. He has published around 600 articles in indexed scientific journals and has supervised 28 doctoral theses.

Xavier Querol received the 2009 Environment Award from the Government of Catalonia, the 2013 King Jaume I Award for Environmental Protection and the 2019 Carmina Virgili Award of the Association of Geologists of Catalonia. In 2019 he became a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona. He was included in the Thomson Reuters–Clarivate lists of most cited researchers in 2014,  
2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019.
