“…The coeval volcanism produced volcano-clastics, shallow Cl/Cl ratio with the measured water temperature of the Budapest thermal waters intrusive bodies and dikes. The center of this volcanism was postulated as the Wein palaeovolcano located in the SE foreland of the Buda Hills as reported in Korpás et al (1999). This hypothetical model is in contradiction with the former interpretation of isotope data (Deák 1979) presenting much younger groundwater ages to be less than 30,000 years.…”

“…In this area the Triassic dolomites and Eocene limestone are covered by several 100 m thick Paleogene shelf margin deposits and Quaternary alluvium of the Danube. In previous publications (Alföldi et al 1978;Korpás et al 1999), the mechanism of the ascending thermal waters is explained by the following theory: the karst water circulation within these dolomitic limestone formations is controlled partly by depositional features (unconformities, caves and clastic horizons) and partly by tectonic features such as faults and related fractures. ''Ascending thermal water (along faults) mixes with cooler meteoric water giving the thermal springs and spas along the Danube'' (Alföldi et al 1978;Korpás et al 1999).…”

Budapest is a major spa center with numerous thermal baths that are open to the public. Thermal spas in Budapest were first developed by the Romans and followed by the Turks, present spas were built mainly in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the city of Budapest the Danube River flows along a geological fault which separates the Buda Hills from the Great Plain. Within this fault zone in the vicinity of the Danube more than 100 thermal springs are arising yielding totally about 40,000 m 3 per day of warm mineral water. In this study the results of thermal, chemical and isotope analyses (including tritium and chlorine-36) of 12 thermal springs and wells are presented. These results are interpreted with respect to the origin and recharge conditions of the investigated thermal waters.

“…Lazlo Korpas has been able to make great progress in understanding the evolution of the karst of Hungary by dating caymanites, because these contain fossils and they correlate with magnetostratigraphy (Korpas, 1998, Korpas et al, 1999. Caymanites provide very useful evidence for marine transgressions (Korpas, 2002).…”

IzvlečekUDK 551.44(091) R.A.L. Osborne: Najstarejše jame na svetu: kako so se ohranile in kaj nam lahko povedo?Deli odprtega jamskega sistema, po katerem se lahko danes sprehajamo, so stari več kot 300 milijonov let. Zdrav razum celo takemu navdušencu, kot sem jaz, pove, da tako stare odprte jame ne morejo obstajati, a vendar so! Da so se ohranile, je lahko deloma vzrok v izredno počasnem zniževanju površja, toda to samo po sebi ni dovolj. Jama je morala biti najbrž tudi zasuta in s tem odrezana od sveta, potreben pa je bil tudi relativen navpičen premik ob prelomih. Zaenkrat je bil najden en sam niz zelo starih jam, ali jih je morda še več? Kaj nam lahko povedo? Ključne besede: speleologija, najstarejša jama, ohranitev starih jam. AbstractUDC 551.44(091) R. Armstrong L. Osborne: The world's oldest caves: -how did they survive and what can they tell us?Parts of an open cave system we can walk around in today are more than three hundred million years old. Common sense tells even enthusiasts like me that open caves this old should not still exist, but they do! Their survival can be partly explained by extremely slow rates of surface lowering, but this is not sufficient by itself. Isolation by burial and relative vertical displacement by faults are probably also required. Now one very old set of caves have been found, are there more of them? what can they tell us?

“…The Transdanubian Range in Hungary is a typical representative of the Alpine type Mesozoic platform carbonate origin landscapes of Europe. Exhumed and covered paleokarst structures-including paleodolines-are frequent in this area (Korpas 1998;Korpas et al 1999). The term "paleodoline" (or in other words, "paleo-polje") refers to a karstic depression that was formed in the geological past, and then, it was buried and fossilized.…”

Karst aquifers represent the most important renewable sources of drinking water. Because anthropogenic influences threaten the integrity of karst aquifers, it is important to determine the soil erosion and karst denudation rates. In order to study the complex signs of degradation processes of the karst, a paleodoline (paleo-polje) was selected near to the county seat Veszprém, Hungary. It was found that gamma radiation measurements can be a useful tool to detect the level of soil erosion since the low gamma radiation indicates the surface proximity of the carbonate bedrock. The level of gamma radiation also predicts the potential agricultural usability of a site. Both the patterns of contamination and the erosion attack zone are strongly defined by the relief. The gullies and the deepest parts of the karstic landscape are the traps of organic materials and pollutants. The amounts of 40 K and its decay products originate from the covering sediment and negatively correlate with the soil depth. In the case of covered karsts, the measuring of the concentration of radionuclides and field gamma-ray dose measurement together can characterize the general horizontal and vertical trends of soil erosion, the potential land use, and the vegetation.
