Physical and chemical properties of evolved rhyolitic melts: application to topaz-bearing granites

 

Grant No.:

436 TSE 113/480-1

Grant Agency:

International project: Scientific cooperation between Czech Republic and Germany (Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic – German Research Foundation)

Resolved in:

2006 - 2008

Principal investigator:

RNDr. Miloš René, CSc., Department of Geochemistry, IRSM AS CR, v.v.i.

Co-investigators:

Prof. Francois Holtz, Univerzita Hannover, Germany

Description:

The objective of the project is the study of the stability of topaz, fluorite and cassiterite at magmatic conditions and to determine the viscosity of such volatile-rich melts. The experimental study will be carried out using a complementary approach based on petrological, structural and geochemical studies of topaz-bearing granites of the Krudum granite body (Saxothuringian Zone of the Bohemian Massif).
