Hungarian national report on IAVCEI 2007–2010

Abstract

This report covers the research activity belonging to the topics of IAVCEI that has been carried out during the past four years period between 2007 and 2010. The most significant results were obtained in the geochemical, petrological and structural investigation of the young (mainly Miocene and Plio-Pleisticene) volcanism in the Carpathian-Pannonian Region, and in the complex study of the upper mantle xenoliths beneath this region. The research topics and new results will be presented according to the following classification: Palaeozoic and Mesozoic intrusive magmatism in the Carpathian-PannonianRegion including the Variscan granitoids and the Mesozoic Ditrȃu alkaline complex.2. Paleogene-Neogene and Quaternary volcanism in the Carpathian-Pannonian Region.3. The upper mantle and lower crust beneath the Carpathian-Pannonian area based on the study of xenoliths 4. Studies based on international co-operation.
