“…Systematic investigation of relationships between tectonic uplift, denudation rate, and topography is missing here. The high spatio‐temporal variability of the published denudation, accommodation, and uplift rates across the Western Carpathians and the adjacent Pannonian Basin (e.g., Bella et al., 2019; Jacko et al., 2021; Šujan et al., 2017, 2018, 2021; Zuchiewicz, 2009) argues against a neotectonic (Pliocene–Quaternary) tendency to steady state. Due to a dominant extensional regime, the highest differential vertical neotectonic movements are supposed on the boundary with the Pannonian basin (Šujan et al., 2021) and on the boundaries of small intramountain basins (e.g., Kováč et al., 2011).…”
