Laboratory Details
Prokop Závada
This lab focuses on the research of orogens on crustal-scale, salt tectonic processes in rift basins and fold-and-thrust belts, magmatic plumbing systems, the ascent of magma through Earth's crust, and shear zone development. Our laboratory infrastructure consists of several modeling devices to simulate tectonic shortening and extension, pure and simple shear strain, magmatic intrusions and eruptions, and sediment deposition systems. Our laboratory uses 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 to record deformation and strain patterns.
