Dr Eduard Petrovsky

Eduard Petrovsky graduated from solid state physics and completed a PhD in geophysics. He works at the Institute of Geophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czechia. From 2003 to 2020, he was a Chair of Department of Geomagnetism, afterward he has been deputy director of the Institute. His main research interests are rock magnetism and its environmental applications. Although his first published paper was dealing with paleomagnetism, the scope of subjects of his published papers range from basic rock magnetism through magnetic properties of polluted soils, palaeoclimatic studies to research of nano and microparticles for biomedical applications. The core of his expertise is in magnetic properties of environmental samples (soils, sediments, atmospheric dust). In addition, he is familiar also with magnetic anisotropy and petrophysics. Besides the research, he was lecturing Environmental Magnetism and Petrophysics at universities in Prague, Brno, Olomous (all in Czechia), Helsinki in Finland and Aix-Marseille in France.
