Scientific interests and investigations

I started my scientific investigations in 1968, preparing my M. Sc. thesis, which concerned fluid inclusions in hydrothermal quartz from the Lower SIlesia area. Since then fluid inclusions of the parent media of minerals have become the main subject of my scientific interest. Initially I studied inclusions in minerals of hydrothermal origin, later I included to my studies inclusions in diagenetic minerals, then inclusins of magmatic melts and finally - inclusions of metamorphic fluids.

I investigated ore minerals as well, mainly ores of tungsten and tin, but the other metals as well. Fairly extensive studies I performed on the sulfide ores of zinc and lead.

Recently I came back to the studies of the diagenetic processes by means of fluid inclusions; this concerns both carbonate and siliciclastic rocks. A special interest I pay to the dolomitization process of limestones..

The main object of my scientific interest: fluid inclusions in minerals [ enter ]

Melt inclusion in quartz from Karkonosze (Riesengebirge) granite

Currently I investigate native gold from the Karkonosze massif pegmatites

Other informations

For many years I delivered talks to the non-professional mineral collectors. These talks I started again in February 2005. Last years I participated with pleasure in the Science Festival in September. Moreover, I maintain the web site Geohobby, promoting the Earth sciences.

I like:

the work with students;
preparing of the non-conventional teaching accessories (for instance from this stamp) 
and popularisation of the Earth sciences;
scientific work;
field trips and journeys;
Traper, my daughter's dog;
reading ot the books;
my garden and flowers I grow there [ 1  2  3 ];
poetry;
paintings (I like these);
drawing, especially with China ink (I invented Adalbert) and with mouse, and computer 
collages;
photographing (from many years);
my collection of post cards;
my collection of post stamps [ 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18

my collection of beer labels (a part is shown here and here);
music, especially harp performances [ 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 ];
   good jokes and bon-mots; satirical tales and poems;
singing when sitting with colleagues around a fire (my best singing is with Orion);
the yellow cat story
Of music and harp
"De tous les plaisirs terrestres la musique est le seul que l'on ait osé placer dans le ciel. De tous les instruments, la harpe est le seul que l'on ait osé mettre entre les mains des anges. Cet instrument est à la fois si doux, si mélodieux et si brillant qu'il réunit tout ce qui peut faire le charme de la musique. Sa forme a tant d'élégance, l'attitude qu'il donne a tant de grace, qu'il semble ne convenir à une femme que lorsqu'elle est jeune et belle."
Axel Oxenstiern (1583-1654).
