Last week I visited colleagues from the Czech Academy of Sciences Institute of Geophysics in Prague to present my work on tectonic modelling and natural H2 at GFZ. It was great to meet the researchers, and to have a look at the Waxy Earth Lab in Prague headed by Prokop Zavada😃 (1/5)

Prokop Zavada and his colleagues at @tectolabpraguehave have developed various cool devices for the simulation of tectonic processes. For instance, they use gelatin and a shear-box to study strike-slip fault evolution, where faults are highlighted through polarised light. (2/5)

I was impressed by the potential Waxy Earth Lab in Prague has for excellent research. We are currently setting up a collaboration, and if you are also interested in running tectonic models in Prague, you should definitely get in touch with them. More info: ig.cas.cz/en/observatori… (4/5).

And of course, we made sure to head down-town to enjoy the local food & drink 😃. Many thanks to David Uličný, Prokop Zavada & Ondřej Krýza for inviting me to Prague, and thanks to the researchers of the Czech Academy of Sciences Institute of Geophysics for their kind hospitality! 😃 (5/5)

🧂Our new study on salt caves in Iran (Jahani diapir) casts doubt on their high flow rates based on flawed geodesy. 🧂 authors.elsevier.com/a/1iQRu,3sl3-2…

📢 An open position for a salt tectonics project on the Morocco salt diapir. Join us and come work with us in the field and on the lab models in Prague. 📢🧂

We had a great X-ray CT scanning session with Prof. Guido Schreurs and Frank Zwaan at Universität Bern last week. Paraffine-wax multilayers are perfect crustal scale analogs, as their rheology is strongly thermally dependent.

We would just like to say a massive thank you to all our in-person and online attendees for the last 3 days. We've had an outstanding selection of talks and posters, and the discussion sessions have been invaluable! 🌋 #volcanology #geology #geoscience #VIPS24

The 1st VIPS meeting on volcanic plumbing systems was a great thematical event with three workshops and great talks! Got the chance to present as an invited speaker the current volcanotectonic activity of Reykjanes. IAVCEI_VIPSCommission MAGMA Lab Liverpool IAVCEI

A course on analog modelling in our laboratory will again welcome students enrolled at the Charles University.
