Mgr. Petr Dědeček, Ph.D. works from 1999 at the Institute of Geophysics CAS.
Petr Dědeček completed his master’s and postgraduate studies in applied geophysics at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. His field of expertise is geothermics, with a particular focus on the thermal properties of rocks and soils, numerical modeling of the subsurface temperature field, and innovative ways to use geothermal energy. He is in charge of a state-of-the-art laboratory for studying the thermal properties of rocks and other materials, located at the RINGEN research center in Litoměřice. Petr is a member of the International Heat Flow Commission (https://www.ihfc-iugg.org/).
