I'm a researcher at Institute of Geology, Academy of the Czech Republic, v.v.i., Prague, Czech Republic. I started to work here in Sept 2003. The main aim of my work is the Quaternary sedimentology with environmental and geoarchaeological aspects. I was born on 17 of December, 1975 at Brandýs nad Labem. I am married to Pavel. We have no children.

1994-1999- graduate study of geology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Brno,
MSc. degree received
1999-2004- postgraduate study, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Brno
PhD. Thesis: Research of loess and loess-like sediments of the Last Glacial, Moravia,
Ph.D. title received

2003-2007- Institute of Geology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Dept. of geological processes
2005 - 3 months long research fellowship at Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge
2006-2008 - Marie-Curie Fellow at Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge

Recently, my the most important research is Marie-Curie project with the title "The geoarcheology of European loess" is sponsored by European Union and is focused on environmental conditions of Gravettian sites in Central Europe and climatic records of the last 30 000 years. My own work on this project includes sedimentological, micromorphological and geochemical research of loessic deposits.
I am interested in Geoarcheological research within the area oh historical part of the Brno town and surrowndings.
2007- Origin of the Brno relief - stage V. (Industrial grant - 7035), principal investigator.
...and in sedimentary micromorphology connected with sedimentary procceses in alluvial zone
2005-2008- The erosional, accumulative and postdepositional processes in flood plain after great flood of August 2002 - participation
2008-2012-Interplay of climate, human impact, and land erosion recorded in the natural archives of Stráznické Pomoraví (Czech Republic)-participation
...and also in quartz micromorphology.
I am the author of two web pages related to our geological research.
My the oldest web page is related to Quaternary geology and collects actual important informations from this branch. Link to these web pages is www.gli.cas.cz/kvarter
Up to date pages related to the project from 2003 - "Thermal spring sedimentation" and to the exhibition connecting with the same project are available at www.gli.cas.cz/vridlovce

there is photo of my husband

This is my husband Pavel, just rellaxing... (hollidays in Finland, 2000). We met during winter 1998 in Jeseníky Mountains and we married in 2003. You can find more informations about him on his own web pages.

There is the link with my scientific publications + abstracts and some of my, mostly popularization on-line articles.
