Prokop Závada

Mgr. Prokop Závada, PhD. (*1979)

He is mainly interested in mechanisms of vertical transfer and associated fabric transpositions of rocks in the lithosphere. The aim of his recent work is to constrain the dynamics of deformation and melt transfer associated with subduction and exhumation of the crust during collision of the continents. The field areas for this research are the Variscan Bohemian Massif and the Himalayan mountain range in India. His research also comprises the mechanisms of magma ascent in the plumbing systems below the volcanoes and salt tectonics in the Zagros Mountains in Iran. To tackle these dynamic systems, Prokop combines the field structural mapping with microstructural analysis and physical modeling.
