The Radek Melka Prize for the best paper of the CETeG 2015 Conference awarded to Filip Tomek
At the 13th Meeting of the Central European Tectonic Groups (CeTeG), Filip Tomek received
the Radek Melka Prize for his paper “Magma flow paths and strain patterns in magma chambers
growing by floor subsidence: a model based on magnetic fabric study of shallow-level plutons in
the Štiavnica volcano–plutonic complex, Western Carpathians” published in the Bulletin of
Volcanology last year. Filip Tomek is a PhD. student working for the Institute of Geology of the
CAS. This study revealed complex magma flow patterns and mechanisms of magma chamber
construction on the example of the Štiavnica stratovolcano, Western Carpathians.
