On Thursday, 19th November 2020, we organized a successful virtual meeting of the Center for Geosphere Dynamics with three lectures given by junior researchers: (1) Valéria Vaškaninová: Revival of our earliest ancestors by means of synchrotron tomography; (2) Jaroslava Hajná: Bohemian Massif records of Neoproterozoic to Lower Paleozoic geodynamic evolution of the northern Gondwanan margin and experimental modelling correlations and (3) Petr Tábořík: Hranice Abyss, the world’s deepest freshwater cave: a new evolutionary model.
