Project outline

During the Late Carboniferous - Early Permian, the northern margin of the Bohemian Massif was characterized by the formation of tectonically controlled basins and by strong volcanic activity. Volcanic and subvolcanic products of the predominantly calc-alkaline magmatism are intercalated within intermontane basins, like the Intra-Sudetic Basin, the North- Sudetic Basin, the Karkonosze-Piedmont Basin and the Döhlen Basin, in southern Poland, northern Czech Republic and eastern Saxony, respectively. In addition, important information on the magmatic evolution of these systems can be achieved by investigation of subvolcanic bodies cropping out in adjacent basement blocks like the Lusitanian Block in eastern Saxony and the Karkonosze Block in Poland and the Czech Republic.

The VENTS program which will have a duration of 6 years involves project leaders from three Polish universities ( Wrocław, Poznań, Warszawa), one German university (Freiberg ) and the Saxonian Geological Survey, and the Charles University and the Geological Survey of the Czech Republic .
