Welcome aboard!
In 2015 we are pleased to welcome new students at CLR. Alice Prudhomme and Maxime Waldner are both coming from the Univeristy of Strasbourg.
Alice Prudhomme
- 2010-2013 : University of Nice-Sophia-Antipolis - Geology, bachelor.
- 2013-2015 : University of Strasbourg - Geology and geophysics, master degree.
"My research aims at constraining the structures at crustal scale in a typical and fossil accretionary orogen, by the interpretation of new gravity measurements and modelling in southwestern Mongolia. These gravity measurements were acquired along profiles up to 180 km and cross three main lithotectonic domains : the Lake Zone, the Gobi-Altai Zone and the Trans-Altai Zone. The modelling constrained by gravity anomalies and structural features will enable to have a better understanding of the relationship between these domains, and will provide a new insight of the crustal architecture in southwestern Mongolia."
Maxime Waldner
"I got my first degree and I am currently completing my master as a student from EOST at the Strasbourg university. In this context, all the students had to do an internship during the 2nd year, and since I was interested by the work discussed by the Centre for Lithospheric Research, I chose to come in Prague. During the first year of my master, I worked on the destruction of foliated textures by infiltration of melt in the rocks of the Eger Crystalline complex. This year I had the opportunity of enlarge my subject to the Erzgebirge. It consists on a comparison between these two regions by analysing their lithology and modelling their corresponding P-T paths. Moreover, the datation of some minerals associated with metamorphism, like garnet, should help us to know if the geological history of these two terranes is similar."
