Picritic rocks of the České Střredohoří Mts.
Šnellerová, Zuzana ; Jelínek, Emil (advisor) ; Ulrych, Jaromír (referee)
The first part of the thesis represents a summary of background knowledge about the geology of the České středohoří Mnt. In the second part, picritic rocks were investigated in detail. General aspects of the chemical and mineralogical compositions of this rock type and classification of picrites are discussed. In addition, macro and microscopic characteristics of rocks are included. The results of macroscopic and microscopic investigations indicate that the studied subvulcanic rocks from the České středohoří Mnt. can be characterised as picritic. However, chemical analyses of the rocks did not confirm this conclusion. Only the samples S-39 and S-40 can be disignated as picrites. Although the other samples show similar mineralogical composition, they need to be classified as basic subvulcanites of picritic type due to higher alkali content.

Mineralogy in the School curricula
Kálalová, Anna ; Matějka, Dobroslav (advisor) ; Ziegler, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on teaching geology and mainly mineralogy on grammar schools. Questionnaire was made for purposes of this bachelor thesis. Objective of this questionnaire was to ascertain information about organization teaching geology and mineralogy on these types of schools and their inclusion in the school curricula. The questionnaire results showed that each school is very different in organization of teaching geology. Mineralogy is most often taught in first classes of four-year, or an equivalent multi-year study. Mineralogy is at some schools taught only in classes corresponding to an elementary school. Optional subject in which is the geology taught students may choose only to nearly forty percent of surveyed schools. Schools use a lot of sorts of material - textbooks for elementary and secondary schools, university textbooks, professional books and Internet resources. The most common tools used in the teaching of geology are collections of samples. Very frequent are also models of crystals and the geological maps. Fewer common are paintings, photographs and films with a geological theme. Uncommon are tools for microscopy and geological compass. 48 % of grammar schools incorporate to education laboratory work and geological or mineralogical excursion, 4 % only laboratory...

Geology of Coal Basins - Czech - Polisch Conference /10./
Ruppenthalová, Lucie
Department of Laboratory Research on Geomaterials of the Institute of Geonics AS CR has organized the Czech - Polish conference about geology of coal basins since 1993. This year the 10th jubilee of conference is held. Traditionally, at the conference meet experts especially from the Czech Republic and Poland, dealing with the development and research of coal deposits, geology of the coal basins, tectonics and coal petrography. However, with new trends in the use of coal, there are also presented the results of research in physical and chemical properties of coal and coal mass, pyrolysis and combustion processes or geosequestration of CO2 into coal seams.

16th International Congress of Speleology : Czech Republic, Brno July 21–28,2013 : proceedings
Filippi, Michal ; Bosák, Pavel
Proceedings of the 16th International Congress of Speleology consist of 3 separate Volumes. The Congress was visited by 1007 participants from 53 countries across the world. Volume III also starts with traditional, heavily attended topics organized in two sessions: “Karst and Caves in Carbonate Rocks, Salt and Gypsum” and “Karst and Caves in Other Rocks, Pseudokarst”. These topics are supplemented by the related session “Speleogenesis”. This last volume of the Proceedings is ended by the study of cave minerals, included in a specific session “Cave Minerals”.
