About Me

PostDoc interested mainly in induced seismicity and its relation to hydraulic fracturing. Research topics cover mainly automatic processing of the seismic data and its comparison to hydraulic data. I am interested also in a measurement and interpretation of CO2 gas flow in West Bohemia, which is related to local occurence of the seismic activity.
