Geothermics
Research primarily devoted to modeling of the temperature field of the Western Carpathian's lithosphere and surrounding tectonic units. Development of suitable modeling approaches and numerical procedures for the interpretation of geothermal data in complex geological structures influenced by relatively young tectonic events i.e. solution of both direct and inverse geothermal problems in steady state or transient regime. Prospection of deep geothermal energy sources in Slovakia by means of geothermic methods.
The methods of the geothermal energy sources parameters determination and their application in the region of Slovakia.
The basic tasks of geothermal research

The solution of the problems of basic research of the temperature distribution and of the heat flow density components distribution caused by various types of the refractions and/or of the heat sources. The math-physical tasks in bounded 2D/3D areas are solved by means of finite difference, by finite element approaches, and by boundary elements methods. The temperature fields modeling results are utilized by interpretation of the data describing the thermal state of the lithosphere in the region of the Western Carpathians. The interpretation approaches are adapted both to concrete structural and tectonic conditions and to available geological and geophysical data.
