Hi, passers-by, and welcome to my personal page.
My name is Vojtech Janousek and I am working in the radiogenic
isotopes lab of the Czech Geological Survey.
To get the right qualification, I studied
Geochemistry at the Charles University in Prague (1986-1991),
and then spent three years in Glasgow
travelling and drinking
whisky, oops, I mean finishing my Ph.D. thesis (1994).
Primarily, my main job consists in studying petrology, gechemistry and petrogenesis
of igneous and metamorphic rocks. They come mostly from Bohemian Massif, but we have had
also projects in Sierra Nevada, Nicaragua, Namibia or Antarctic Peninsula.
Apart from that,we are busy developing free
tools for interpretation and graphical
presentation of geochemical data.
My pet are granitoids (and Hercynian granitoids of the Central
Bohemian Pluton in particular).
Since 2002 I have been involved in a project dealing with petrogenesis
of South Bohemian granulites.
Arguably the most important project I am involved in at the moment is the free access journal
of the Czech Geological Society, since 2007 published under the name
Journal of Geosciences.
I like travelling and enjoy writing about it. But if you don't understand Czech, you have to believe me that you don't miss too much.
For traditionalists, my coordinates are:
