Laboratory of Environmental Geochemical Analysis (LEGA)

Department head:   Matys Grygar Tomáš, RNDr. CSc.

Area Laboratory develops and use geochemical tools for description of composition of fluvial, lacustrine, and similar sediments aimed at paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Further, the LEGA team coordinates works, which are essential for interpretation of geochemical datasets and performs its own multidisciplinary research in related areas. Scientific topics Miocene deposits of the Most Basin – treasure among Czech sedimentary archives (T. Matys Grygar) Polluted fluvial systems – sediments of river floodplains, channels, and dam reservoirs (T. Matys Grygar) Sediment geochemistry – generalisation of knowledge from case studies (T. Matys Grygar)
