| Résumé : |
The aim of my scientific work is to contribute to the understanding of geodynamic processes using a parallel study of metamorphic processes and geological structures, while taking into account the associated magmatic and sedimentary aspects in selected key regions. The focus is on the study of pressure–temperature conditions and their evolution with time. I approach these problems from a thermodynamic point of view, through numerical modelling of phase relations using various types of phase diagrams calculated with the THERMOCALC software. Nevertheless, I pay particular attention to a solid field work, a sound structural investigation, and a meticulous petrographical analysis, which are essential prerequisites for the quality of the subsequent phase diagram modelling. My publication record is not particularly rich. Yet, my contribution is significant in all papers that I co-authored and most of these papers show a citation record that is moderate but steady through the time. I tend to believe that this reflects the quality of the work. Nor can I boast about any significant methodological developments, although this is what generally helps to boost one? s citation index and what is then expected from a researcher in the current climate. Clearly, the focus of my research is the application of modern petrological methods to various regions in order to understand their tectonic history. I consider it as a bonus, if some sort of generally valid conclusion can be drawn from this work. My philosophy is that it would be of little use to produce models and sophisticated tools if there was nobody capable to use these tools with ability or test the models in the nature … |
