About

Professor Jiří Žák is a faculty member at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in the Czech Republic. His research areas include plate kinematics, high-grade metamorphic rock rheology, and the geochemical evolution of continental crust. Recent publications focus on the dynamics of Ediacaran to early Cambrian geological events, including the study of detrital zircon and sedimentary processes in the Bohemian Massif. His work contributes significantly to the understanding of tectonic interactions and volcanic arc histories in various geological settings.
