About CETeG

The mission of the Central European Tectonic Group (CETeG) is to strengthen the pro­fessional communication and the coordination of activities of formal groups and individuals from Central European countries interested in broadly scoped tectonics and geodynamics of the Earth crust. According to the assumed convention, scientific gatherings of CETeG are to be held annually in geologically attractive regions, each year in different member country.

The Central European Tectonic Group is an open scientific association bringing together the geoscientists with the interest in geodynamic processes of the Earth crust in a broad measure.

The main topics of the annual meetings are the problems of structural evolution of the orogenic belts, the basin evolution, relationship of magmatism and tectonics and many others, studied by the methods of structural geology, petrology, geochemistry, sedimentology and geo­physics.

Invitation and Topics of the 2012 Meeting

A special attention in the CETeG 2012 meeting we paid to the neotectonics of the Carpa­thians and recent geodynamic activity of the Czech massif and accordingly we invited a couple of speakers that will start related sessions.

1. Witold Zuchiewicz (Faculty of Geology, Geophysics & Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science & Technology, Cracow, Poland): Neotectonics of the Carpathians: Lessons learned from tectonic geomorphology.
2. Josef Stemberk (Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague): Character and dynamics of (micro)displacements registered by 3-D moni­to­ring at faults in the Czech massif.

We will prefer contributions focused to geodynamic evolution of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic orogenic belt since its origin up to recent. Besides structural and tectonic studies we also support all scientific studies oriented to geochemistry, petrology, sedimentology as well as applied research (geophysical, geodetic, geomechanical, geothermal, engineering geological).

Of course the organizers are open to those of you who are engaged in research of other than Central European Orogens.
