Research & other laboratory activities

The Laboratories of the Geological Institutes participate in the education process and are co-investigators for numerous scientific projects.

Currently, LGI participates in the teaching of several subjects: Environmental Geology, Analytical Practice in Geosciences, Application of Instrumental Analysis in Geology, Environmental Change Dating and Analytical Methods in Geochemistry.

LGI provides support for the scientific and educational activities of the CU FS Geological Section. LGI services are mainly used (but not exclusively) by the geologists of the Faculty of Science, i.e. researchers, students at all levels, and cooperating workplaces at Charles University and other universities. Furthermore, LGI cooperates with state authorities and experts in various fields of medicine, chemistry, archaeology, mathematic and biology.

Collaboration on scientific projects

2018–2020 Mobility of raw materials and life cycles of artefacts: archaeometry of metals and glass of the La Tène period; GACR 18-20096S (co-investigator L. Strnad; investigator A. Danielisova AS CR)

2011–2014 Climate archives in the sedimentary record of the Upper Palaeozoic basins of the Bohemian Massif as a proxy for the reconstruction of climate change; GACR P210 / 11/1431 (co-investigator L. Strnad; investigator S. Oplustil CU FS)

2007–2010 Growth rhythms as an indicator of the Earth’s rotation and climate change in the geological past; GAAV IAA 300130702 (co-investigator L. Strnad; investigator A. Galle AS CR)

Since 2008, LGI has been involved in the G-probe program, an international effort to test reference materials in geology. The entire program falls under the IAG (International Association of Geoanalysts) and Reference Materials project of the U.S. Geological Survey.
