Most geodynamic processes take place over long geological time scales of millions of years and occur in large depths hidden from direct observation methods. These processes are mainly driven by plate motion under various aspects of convergent, divergent and strike-slip motion.<\/p>\n
Laboratory analogue modelling offers an approach to simulate these processes on convenient temporal and spatial scales. Complex natural prototypes are simplified and scaled down to controlled laboratory conditions such that geometries, rheologies and boundary conditions can be appropriately defined. This procedure allows us to observe and record deformation patterns and the development of various tectonic, magmatic and sedimentary phenomena. Analog modelling results can provide important data about aspects of economical and social impact. The evolution and reconstruction of geological systems are relevant for exploration purposes in hydrocarbon industry, geothermal energy resources and storage sites for waste as well as for evaluating seismic and volcanic hazards in populated regions.<\/p>\n
We particularly focus on the investigation of orogens on a crustal scale, salt tectonic processes in rift basins and fold-and-thrust-belts, magmatic plumbing systems, the ascent of magmatic dykes and shear zone development<\/strong>. Our laboratory infrastructure consists of a number of modelling devices to simulate tectonic shortening and extension, pure and simple shear strain, magmatic intrusions and eruptions as well as sediment deposition systems. To record deformation and strain patterns, our laboratory is equipped with modern strain quantification techniques such as a 3D digital image correlation system and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility generated by magnetic particles aligned in the deformed material.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n Prokop Z\u00e1vada<\/a><\/p>\n Ond\u0159ej Kr\u00fdza<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][wpmf_gallery_divi items=”36655,36657,36659,36661,43226,43228,43230,43232,43234,43236,43238,43240,43242,43244,43246,43248,43250,43252″ columns=”4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/wpmf_gallery_divi][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”Laboratory infrastructure” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Projects” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Publications” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most geodynamic processes take place over long geological time scales of millions of years and occur in large depths hidden from direct observation methods.
