“…This approach could be successfully applied also to the more refined investigation of the Neogene volcanic activity in the Carpathian Bend area. Bartha et al (2018) (in this issue) provides a case study for two Neogene sedimentary basins in the Carpathian-Pannonian region using paleo-stepping method, which allows considering more complex geometries and the effects of lateral movements (compression, folding and inversion in the petroleum systems model). This approach may provide a possible template for a similar investigation of the Transylvanian basin and clearly demonstrates the power, efficiency and limitation of numerical and physical modelling and inversion.…”

“…Three main parameters have been published from the Williston Basin (Bakken Shale) that controls the abnormal pressure generation in case of hydrocarbon generation and cracking [96], which are the regional distribution, the thickness, and the TOC. Source rocks of the Pannonian Basin meet the regional distribution and the thickness requirements, but the TOC values are generally one order of magnitude lower compared with the Bakken Shale [88][89][90]. The quality deficiency of the source rocks within the Pannonian Basin could be the bottleneck from the overpressure generation point of view during the source rock maturation, whose conclusion is supported by the numerical simulations, too.…”

“…Simulations suggest that the chemical compaction could generate some overpressure at the middle of subbasins, but the absolute overpressure surplus is less than 1.8 MPa or 3%. Source rocks have been identified in the Middle Miocene, Late Miocene pelagic series [87] that have 2 wt % total organic matter (TOC) and 300 mg/g hydrogen index (HI) based on published data [88][89][90]. Numerical simulation has not proved the contribution of the hydrocarbon generation and cracking in the overpressure generation, because the models suggest only 0.5 MPa locally extra overpressure.…”

The overpressure formation in the Pannonian basin, Hungary, was investigated but has not been properly understood for the last 40 years because at least two different explanations were delineated. The first explanation considers the hydrocarbon generation as the main overpressure generation mechanism with some undercompaction contribution. On the contrary, another explanation assumes tectonic stress as the main trigger of abnormal pressure. The following research delivers a suitable workflow to understand which generation mechanisms were active in the study area and estimate the quantitative contribution of the mechanisms. The developed workflow relies on the basin modeling principles that were designed to simulate subsurface processes on a geological timeframe. Moreover, the uncertainty of input parameters was considered, and the joint application of a heuristic Monte Carlo simulation scheme and improved basin modeling resulted in stochastic pore pressure models. The most frequent value (MFV) method was applied on the simulated values to test a robust statistical method in pore pressure prediction. The study has identified not only the four main overpressure generation mechanisms, but it could calculate the individual contribution to the subsurface pressure. Finally, two independent and stochastic pore pressure prediction methods have been developed that could be used in the pre-drill well planning phase and the real-time prediction during drilling.

“…The area of the Vršac Mountains is part of the southeastern margin of the Carpathian Basin that tectonically formed during the Neogene and Quaternary periods (Matenco and Radivojević, 2012;Sušić et al, 2016;Bartha et al, 2018;Rundić et al, 2019). The present-day landscape in the Carpathian Basin is also strongly affected by neo-tectonic processes, with the youngest tectonic deformations characterized by positive and negative vertical motions (Toljić et al, 2013).…”

The Carpathian Basin is a key region for understanding modern human expansion into western Eurasia during the Late Pleistocene because of numerous early hominid fossil find spots. However, the corresponding archeological record remains less understood due to a paucity of well dated, contextualized sites. To help rectify this, we excavated and sampled Crvenka-At (Serbia), one of the largest Upper Paleolithic sites in the region to obtain radiometric ages for the archeological artifacts and evaluate their depositional context and subsequent site formation processes. Our results confirm that this locality represents a multiple-occupation Aurignacian site that dates to 36.4 ± 2.8 ka based on modeling of luminescence ages. Electrical resistivity tomography measurements indicate that the site formed on a sandy-gravelly fill terrace covered by overbank deposits. Complex grain size distributions further suggest site formation in contrasting depositional environments typically occurring alongside fluvial channels, at lakeshores, in alluvial fan or delta settings. The site is thus the closest (ca. 50 km) known Aurignacian site to the earliest undisputed modern human remains in Europe at the Peştera cu oase and some intervals of the occupation may therefore have been contemporaneous with them. This suggests that modern humans, during their initial settlement of Europe, exploited a wider range of topographic and ecological settings than previously posited. Our findings indicate that lowland areas of the Carpathian Basin are an important part of understanding the early settlement patterns of modern humans in Europe.
