About CETEG

The mission of the Central European Tectonic Groups (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 2011 Meeting

A special attention in the CETEG 2011 meeting we paid to the Variscan orogeny and accordingly we invited couple of speakers that will start related sessions.

  1. Variscan orogeny – invited speaker Karel Schulmann, University Strasbourg – "Are Rhenohercynian divergent and convergent processes a motor of burial and exhumation processes in the Bohemian Massif?"
  2. Geophysics in tectonic studies – invited speaker Jean-Bernard Edel, University Strasbourg – "Structure and Evolution of the Variscan belt during Carboniferous times derived from gravimetric, magnetic and paleomagnetic data"
    We realize that understanding of Alpinian orogeny is principal research subject of many of our colleagues in the central European region, and we propose session:
  3. Structural evolution of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic orogenic belt
     Political and financial requests turned attention of many colleagues to applied research. Then we would like to open session:
  4. Geology for society – deep repositories, geothermics, hydrocarbons
    CETEG meetings traditionally support research in geochemistry, petrology and sedimentology, which could be presented in following sessions:
  5. Microstructure and texture evolution during coupled reaction-deformation – invited speaker Rainer Abart, University Wien – "Reacting rocks deform - deforming rocks react: examples from experiment and nature"
  6. Dating of tectonic events
  7. Evolution and interactions of the crust and mantle tracked by geochemical and petrological methods
  8. Basin evolution – invited speaker David Uličný, Institute of Geophysics, Praha – "Roles of structural inheritance and palaeostress regime in the evolution of the Cenozoic Eger Graben, Bohemia"
    Of course, the Open session will be devoted to those of you who carry out their research in other then the Central European Orogens.

Conference language

English

Preliminary program

  • 14th of April: Pre-conference Field Trip: Ductile deformation and rheology of sub-continental mantle in hot collisional orogen: example from the folded Mohelno peridotite body and surrounding felsic granulites and metagabbros.
    Leaders: V. Kusbach, S. Ulrich, K. Schulmann

  • 17th of April: Post-conference Field Trip: Unroofing of orogenic infrastructure in Lugian Domain of the Bohemian Massif
    Leaders: O. Lexa and K. Schulmann

Presentations

Oral presentations will be limited to 12 plus 3 minutes for discussion. Computer presentations prepared in PowerPoint are strongly recommended. Slide projector and overhead projector will only be available if you indicate this explicitly. The organizing committee reserves the right to select oral presentations and shift some presentations to the poster session. (Please, prepare presentations that have major impact on tectonic problems.)

Please, avoid parallel oral and poster presentations.

Poster format will be A0 (~0.9m x 1.2m) and the number of poster presentations is not limited.

Awards

The Radek Melka prize

The Prize has been established by friends of Mr. Radek Melka to remember this outstanding young Czech scientist in structural geology who passed away at the age of 30 in 1994.

The Radek Melka Prize will be awarded to the best paper by an author from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, or Hungary of age up to 35 years in the year of publication of their paper. The Prize in 2011 will be awarded for a paper published in the year of 2010. A submitted paper has to deal with a topic in structural geology, tectonics, geodynamics, geochronology, rock geochemistry, metamomorphic, igneous, or sedimentary geology. Experience from previous years led us to a “new condition” for participation in the competition: the author's presence at the Central European Tectonic Studies Group Annual Meeting - in 2011. Note: since 2011 an author willing to compete for the Prize will have to present his/her paper at CETEG Meeting.

Deadline:

Authors will submit their papers for the competition as pdf to stano@ig.cas.cz, and cc to lexa.ondrej@gmail.com by 31 March 2011

Referees:

7 referees will be nominated by the Board of the Czech Tectonic Studies Group and Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Science to select the best paper considering its significance of scientific contribution, originality of approach, and author's share in the published work. The winner will be announced at the 9th CETeG Meeting, 16 April during the conference dinner.

The prize is sponsored by the Czech Tectonic Studies Group and Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Science

The Staszek Brud prize

The prize will be awarded by the Galicia Tectonic Group for the best oral presentation of a young scientist during the meeting.

The best student poster prize

The prize will be awarded by the Czech Tectonic Studies Group and Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Science.
