Petrogenesis and emplacement of the Weinsberg granitoids in Nove Hrady Mts. (Moldanubian Batholith]
Hájek, Tadeáš ; Verner, Kryštof (advisor) ; Špillar, Václav (referee)
(english) First part of this bachelor thesis contains a summary of existing knowledge of post- collisional magmatic activity in Bohemian massif with accent on genesis and construction of large intrusive complex - Moldanubian Batholit. Possible geodynamical aspects, petrogenetical and physical processes of genesis and emplacement of granitic magmas are further described. Practical part of this bachelor thesis is based on observation and documentation of fabrics and structures in Weinsberg granitoids at rock outpost situated in locality Sokolčí u Kaplice.

Thermokinetic model and quantitative description of magmatic textures
Špillar, Václav ; Dolejš, David (advisor) ; Marsh, Bruce D. (referee) ; Higgins, Michael D. (referee)
Variability of magmatic textures records a wide array of physicochemical and mechanical processes that have operated in a magma chamber during its crystallization. Here I investigate how the final textural record can quantitatively be used to decipher the magma crystallization history and internal dynamics of magma chambers. The thesis is based on a formulation of numerical models of texture formation under the activity of various crystallization processes. Numerical results are then compared to the new quantitative textural datasets derived from four distinct magmatic systems in the Bohemian Massif: (i) Fichtelgebirge-Smrčiny granite batholith; (ii) Krkonoše-Jizera plutonic complex; (iii) Kdyně mafic intrusion; (iv) České středohoří volcanic complex. Combination of the field textural studies with their interpretation via numerical crystallization models provides new implications regarding magmatic crystallization and internal dynamics of magma chamber. The most important results of this Ph.D. thesis are as follows: (i) a new method has been developed that allows the rates of nucleation and growth of crystals to be derived from quantitative textural data. The method requires using the crystallinity evolution in time as an independent constraint in order to provide unique solution. In case of the...

Numerical model for the origin of magmatic textures and its application to the Fichtelgebirge/Smrčiny granite batholith
Špillar, Václav ; Dolejš, David (advisor) ; Ježek, Josef (referee) ; Žák, Jiří (referee)
Magmatic processes are major agents responsible for the formation and differentiation of the Earth's crust. In contrast to extensive efforts to improve understanding and utility of igneous geochemistry, physical processes of magma differentiation and solidification remain largely unclear. Large variability of igneous textures provides record of these processes and intensive parameters governing the crystallization. In this thesis, we develop quantitative methods, which allow us to better interpret igneous textures in the framework of physics of solidification. We have developed a new three-dimensional model of crystallization from one- component melt driven by homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and crystal growth. The predicted textures are quantitatively characterized by crystal size distributions, spatial distribution functions and parameters representing grain contact relationships. The model employs high resolution in a large volume simulation domain in order to produce statistically stable results. Our simulations, performed for various functional forms of nucleation and growth rates with respect to time, imply that (i) crystals are ordered (anti-clustered) on short length scales. This reflects that other crystals already have a finite size at the time of nucleation of younger crystal,...
