Abstract. Seismic activity in the Western Carpathians is closely related to the crustal rheology and combined structural pattern within the brittle upper crust. The structural pattern is a combination of three structural levels. The deepest level is represented by the Paleo-Alpine suture zones dissected by neo-Alpine fault structures, above all strikeslip fault zones (second level). The recent tectonic regimes are controlled by the contemporary stress field and vertical movements (third level). Following the analyses of structures and various geophysical data, the principal seismo-tectonic zones of the Western Carpathians are defined.The most remarkable and important first-order tectonic structure in the Western Carpathians is the zone of the Pieniny Klippen Belt, which represents the contact of the Western Carpathian internides and the stable European Platform.The Mur-Mürz-Leitha fault zone in the area of the Vienna Basin represents the contact of the Eastern Alps with the block of Western Carpathian internides. Both these tectonic lines represent subvertical boundaries with Tertiary tectonic activity.TheČertovica fault zone is a surface projection of the thrust plane of the Veporic thick-skinned sheet over the Tatric unit. Based on geological and geophysical data it is assumed that theČertovica zone is recently active due to its extensional reactivation. Earthquake events are released here mostly along the Hron fault system of the ENE-WSW direction.The next important tectonic structure is the HurbanovoDiósjenő line, which is most probably the continuation of the Rába line into the Slovak territory. Based on reflection seismic interpretations, there are several low-angle fault surfaces dipping to the SE. These thrust planes were reactivated durCorrespondence to: M.

Abstract. Socio-hydrology is the science of human influence on hydrology and the influence of the water cycle on human social systems. This newly emerging discipline inherently involves a historic perspective, often focusing on timescales of several centuries. While data on human history is typically available for this time frame, gathering information on the hydrological situation during such a period can prove difficult: measured hydrological data for such long periods are rare, while models and secondary data sets from geomorphology, pedology or archaeology are typically not accurate enough over such a short time. In the first part of this study, the use of historic maps in hydrology is reviewed. Major breakthroughs were the acceptance of historic map content as valid data, the use of preserved features for investigating situations earlier than the map, and the onset of digital georeferencing and data integration. Historic maps can be primary quantitative sources of hydro-geomorphological information, they can provide a context for point-based measurements over larger areas, and they can deliver time series for a better understanding of change scenarios.In the second part, a case study is presented: water level fluctuations of Lake Balaton were reconstructed from maps, levelling logs and other documents. An 18th century map system of the whole 5700 km 2 catchment was georeferenced, integrated with two 19th century map systems, and wetlands, forests and open water digitized. Changes in wetland area were compared with lake water level changes in a 220 yr time series. Historic maps show that the water level of the lake was closer to present-day levels than expected, and that wetland loss pre-dates drainage of the lake.The present and future role of historic maps is discussed. Historic hydrological data has to be treated with caution: while it is possible to learn form the past, the assumption that future changes will be like past changes does not always hold. Nevertheless, old maps are relatively accessible data sets and the knowledge base for using them is rapidly growing, and it can be expected that long-term time series will be established by integrating georeferenced map systems over large areas.In the Appendix, a step-by-step guide to using historic maps in hydrology is given, starting from finding a map, through georeferencing and processing the map to publication of the results.

“…A pleisztocén végén aktív tektonikai mozgásokat mutató részmedencék süllyedése -az Érmellék kivételével -a holocén folyamán is folytatódott, jórészt jelenleg is tart (Joó 1992). Az Alföld területének leginkább süllyedő (-3-4 mm/év) részei napjainkban is a három nagy fiókmedence területére esnek (Körös-medence déli része, Jászsági-medence és a Dél-Tiszavölgy).…”

“…A lassú süllyedés folyamatosságát jelzi, hogy ettől északra mindhárom szint nagyobb eséssel rendelkezik (lokális felerősödő hátravágódás), futásuk pedig párhuzamos. A középső egységben az A-szint kettéválását okozó avulziók kialakulása is alátámasztja süllyedés aktivitását a holocén első felében, amely a recens tektonikai mozgások alapján ma is tart (Joó 1992). A déli egységben az A-és B-szintek növekvő esése jelzi, hogy kialakulásuk idején itt jelentősen csökkent az erózióbázis szintje.…”
