Dr. Petr Bro\u017e<\/strong> (1984) has been a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences since 2010, focusing on volcanism across the Solar System. His primary research interests include kilometre-scale cones formed by explosive volcanic activity\u2014driven by magma degassing or water\u2013magma interactions\u2014on Mars, as well as features produced by sedimentary volcanism. His work combines remote-sensing analyses of volcanic morphology and morphometry with analogue and numerical modelling approaches.<\/p>\n

He earned his Ph.D. degree <\/a>in 2015 from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, and completed research internships at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Open University (UK).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. Bro\u017e has received numerous awards for his scientific excellence and outreach efforts. He is a laureate of the Nad\u00e1n\u00ed Josefa, Marie a Zdenky Hl\u00e1vkov\u00fdch<\/strong> Prize for talented young researchers of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Otto Wichterle Award<\/strong>, recognizing outstanding early-career scientists for significant contributions to scientific knowledge. In 2025, he was honored by the Czech Association of Geomorphologists<\/strong> for his long-term and exceptional contributions to the popularization of geosciences. Together with Dr. Mat\u011bj Machek, he also received the SCIAP 2016 Award<\/strong> for creating an innovative outreach model illustrating plate tectonics.<\/p>\n

Beyond research, Dr. Bro\u017e is deeply engaged in science communication, giving public lectures and writing extensively to promote geoscience and planetary exploration. He is the author of the popular educational book series Vesm\u00edrn\u00ed\u010dek 1<\/a> and 2<\/a> and Geostorky<\/a> 1 and 2, which together have sold more than 40,000 copies.<\/span><\/p>\n
