Main research topics:
•	Processes at convergent plate margins, focused on tectonic interpretation of earthquake distribution and mechanisms (SE Asia, Middle and South America, Izu-Bonin-Mariana area in the western Pacific)
•	Orogenic processes and rheology of Earth's crust and mantle in ancient orogens (the Variscan Bohemian Massif, Proterozoic Pan-African belts, Archean Kaapvaal Craton)
•	Processes of magma emplacement and related fabric development studied by analogue modelling and in the field (Cenozoic volcanics of the Bohemian massif, salt domes in Iran)
•	Evolution of sedimentary basin fills as sensitive records of the interaction between tectonic processes, sea-level fluctuations and climate change
•	Recent crustal movements in tectonically active regions studied using gravity and geodetic methods (NW Bohemian Massif, the Aswan Lake area, the Gulf of Corinth)
•	Earth tides monitoring and analysis
•	Participation in the International Scientific Continental Deep Drilling Program (ICDP)
•	West Bohemia Volcanism


Applied studies:
•	Studies of oriented microporosity of rocks and its relation to elastic properties and permeability, e.g. for planning of radioactive waste repositories
•	Microgravity measurements in engineering geology and archeology
•	Slope stability monitoring based on tilmeter and groundwater observations

Popularization of geosciences:
•	Look at the experiment that was set up for visitors of „Science days on the Geophysical Institute: 9.-10.11.2007“.
