The GDRGF concept informs about basin hydraulics and groundwater as a geologic agent. It became obvious that the effect of heterogeneity and anisotropy on the flow pattern could be derived from hydraulic reactions of the aquifer system. The topography and heat as driving forces were examined by numerical simulations of flow and heat transport. Evaluation of groups of springs, in terms of related discharge phenomena and regional chloride distribution, reveals the dominance of topography-driven flow when considering flow and related chemical and temperature patterns. Moreover, heat accumulation beneath the confined part of the system also influences these patterns. The presence of cold, lukewarm and thermal springs and related wetlands, creeks, mineral precipitates, and epigenic and hypogenic caves validates the existence of GDRGF in the system. Vice versa, groups of springs reflect rock–water interaction and advective heat transport and inform about basin hydraulics. Based on these findings, a generalized conceptual GDRGF model is proposed for an unconfined and confined carbonate region. An interface was revealed close to the margin of the unconfined and confined carbonates, determined by the GDRGF and freshwater and basinal fluids involved. The application of this model provides a background to interpret manifestations of flowing groundwater in thick carbonates generally, including porosity enlargement and hydrocarbon and heat accumulation. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.}, keywords = {Hungary; groundwater flow; Hydraulic properties; Carbonate rocks; Geological agency}, year = {2015}, eissn = {1435-0157}, pages = {1359-1380}, orcid-numbers = {Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit/0000-0002-5628-4386; Tóth, Ádám/0000-0002-7300-6687} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:2580822, title = {The importance of electromagnetic methods to build numerical groundwater flow model for an area with complex geology in the case of Tihany Peninsula}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2580822}, author = {Tóth, Ádám and Trásy-Havril, Tímea and Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit and Simon, Szilvia and Müller, I and Galsa, Attila and Monteiro dos Santos, F A}, booktitle = {5th ISGC - 5th International Students Geological Conference Budapest, Hungary, 24-27 April, 2014}, unique-id = {2580822}, year = {2014}, pages = {126-126}, orcid-numbers = {Tóth, Ádám/0000-0002-7300-6687; Trásy-Havril, Tímea/0000-0003-3478-2787; Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit/0000-0002-5628-4386; Simon, Szilvia/0000-0002-3811-9141; Galsa, Attila/0000-0002-7198-4524} } @article{MTMT:2094486, title = {Hidrogeológiai célú geofi zikai térképezés egy tihanyi maar-tó környezetében [Geophysical measurements to understand the hydrogeology of the maar-lake setting of the Tihany Peninsula, Hungary]}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2094486}, author = {Tóth, Ádám and Trásy-Havril, Tímea and Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit and Müller, Imre}, journal-iso = {MAGYAR GEOFIZIKA}, journal = {MAGYAR GEOFIZIKA}, volume = {53}, unique-id = {2094486}, issn = {0025-0120}, year = {2012}, eissn = {2677-1497}, pages = {120-130}, orcid-numbers = {Tóth, Ádám/0000-0002-7300-6687; Trásy-Havril, Tímea/0000-0003-3478-2787; Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit/0000-0002-5628-4386} } @article{MTMT:1443141, title = {The function of faults in hydraulic hydrocarbon entrapment: Theoretical considerations and a field study from the Trans-Tisza region, Hungary.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1443141}, author = {Czauner, Brigitta and Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit}, doi = {10.1306/11051010031}, journal-iso = {AAPG BULL}, journal = {AAPG BULLETIN}, volume = {95}, unique-id = {1443141}, issn = {0149-1423}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1558-9153}, pages = {795-811}, orcid-numbers = {Czauner, Brigitta/0000-0001-6591-8611; Mádlné Szőnyi, Judit/0000-0002-5628-4386} } @article{MTMT:2176536, title = {A Pannon-medence üledékeinek szeizmikus sztratigráfiai és tektonikai vizsgálata a Dél-Dunántúl és a Balaton területén.

These are associated with the controversial presence of third-order water-level oscillations in Lake Pannon and large-scale tectonic deformation and erosion of the basin fill. Sequential stratigraphic interpretation was carried out in southern Transdanubia using hydrocarbon exploration seismic sections and borehole data. The Late Miocene basin fill was divided into 5 third-order depositional sequences as follow: SAR-1, PAN-1, -2, -3, -4. In the Drava trough, the topmost sequence boundary is overlain by more than 1000 mthick Pliocene through Quaternary strata. These were deposited in on alluvial plain and are characterised by higher order cyclicity. A special contribution to our seismic stratigraphic interpretation was offered by a wealth of high-resolution seismic profiles taken at Lake Balaton over the last two decades. These surveys imaged the Pannonian Szák, Somló and Tihany Formations to thicknesses ranging between 0 to 120 m below the mud beds of the lake and above the acoustic basement given by the top of Sarmatian limestone layer. According to the sequential stratigraphic interpretation, these formations were deposited on the shelf of Lake Pannon during the PAN-2 sequence and they represent transgressive, highstand and falling stage system tracts. Regression of Lake Pannon led to the formation of a large alluvial/delta plain as evidenced by the upper section of the Tihany Formation. These terrestrial beds in the Tihany Peninsula are overlain by pyroclasts, maar lake sediments (Tihany Volcano) and freshwater limestones; the latter have been silicified locally due to postvolcanic, hot spring activity. All of these exposed features can be recognised on the high resolution seismic sections of Lake Balaton. In addition, seismic data demonstrate that the top of the Tihany Formation is a marked erosional unconformity. Accordingly, it is reasonable to conclude that this seismic unconformity represents the upper boundary of the PAN-2 sequence. Seismic sections in Transdanubia show that the Late Miocene depositional sequences suffered remarkable postsedimentary compressional deformation. This Pliocene through Quaternary compression can be considered as the neotectonic phase of the evolution of the Pannonian Basin. It has resulted in development of areas of uplift and coeval subsidence with an amplitude of the order of 1000 metres. Uplift and erosion of the Transdanubian Range also took place during this phase. Elsewhere in the basin eroded material from the uplifting terraines filled up the areas of subsidence and no significant topographic relief has been formed. It is reasonable to infer that the start of the structural inversion, erosion and fault reactivation in the Pannonian Basin at around the Miocene-Pliocene boundary is a tectonic Messinian event. Finally, it was concluded that the the longstanding problem of the correlation of the basin margin and deep basin Pannonian lithostratigraphic formations remains one of an intractable nature unless the large-scale deformation and erosion of the basin-fill during the neotectonic inversion are taken into consideration more thoroughly.}, keywords = {Lake Balaton; Pannonian Basin; Basin inversion; Third-order sequences; High-resolution seismics}, year = {2010}, eissn = {2559-902X}, pages = {391-418} } @article{MTMT:3194724, title = {The combined use of radio-frequency electromagnetics and radiomagnetotellurics methods in non-ideal field conditions for delineating hydrogeological boundaries and for environmental problems}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3194724}, author = {Dill, AC and Turberg, P and Müller, Imre and Parriaux, A}, doi = {10.1007/s00254-008-1208-1}, journal-iso = {ENVIRON GEOL}, journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY}, volume = {56}, unique-id = {3194724}, issn = {0943-0105}, abstract = {Radio frequency geophysical methods are known for being very versatile tools in ground- and groundwater investigation at shallow depths.

Significant improvement concerning 2D and 3D modelling of the data has occurred in recent decades.

It belongs to the Bakony-Balaton Highland Volcanic Field (BBHVF), which is an extensive Late Miocene-Pliocene alkaline basaltic volcanic field in Western Hungary. The TMVC is the only known location in the BBHVF where volcanic rocks are in a stratigraphically fixed position near the boundary of the Congeria balatonica-Prosodacnomya Zones. Since 1985 this stratigraphic importance motivated repeated efforts to obtain unquestionable radiometric data with sufficient accuracy for the volcanic phases. Due to the difficulties of dating basaltic pyroclastic rocks (detrital contamination, excess argon, argon loss during hydrothermal alteration, high atmospheric argon content, etc.), this is for the first time a fully acceptable age of 7.92 +/- 0.22 Ma has been obtained for the onset of volcanic activity of the TMVC at the location Monk's cave. This age is a key datum for the boundary of Congeria balatonica-Prosodacnomya Zones and it agrees well with the start of alkali basaltic volcanic activity in Central Slovakia. 7.35 +/- 0.45 Ma is obtained for Diosteto. The youngest ages, showing the greatest argon loss were measured for the location Godros. An analysis of the isochron diagrams suggests here an interval from 6.24 +/- 0.73 Ma to 5.92 +/- 0.41 Ma for the time of volcanic activity. This age sequence is in agreement with volcanological field observation and in spite of some uncertainty of the younger age limit, it is indicated that volcanism at Tihany was not a single event of the same volcano, but rather a result of longer lived eruptions from a closely spaced, nested volcanic system.}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {91-99} } @article{MTMT:1384556, title = {Miocene phreatomagmatic volcanism at Tihany (Pannonian Basin, Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1384556}, author = {Németh, Károly and Martin, U and Harangi, Szabolcs}, doi = {10.1016/S0377-0273(01)00223-2}, journal-iso = {J VOLCANOL GEOTH RES}, journal = {JOURNAL OF VOLCANOLOGY AND GEOTHERMAL RESEARCH}, volume = {111}, unique-id = {1384556}, issn = {0377-0273}, abstract = {A late Miocene (7.56 Ma) maar volcanic complex (Tihany Maar Volcanic Complex - TMVC) is preserved in the Pannonian Basin and is part of the Bakony-Balaton Highland Volcanic Field. Base surge and fallout deposits were formed around maars by phreatomagmatic explosions, caused by interactions between water-saturated sediments and alkali basalt magma carrying peridotite Iherzolite xenoliths as well as pyroxene and olivine megacrysts. Subsequently, nested maars functioned as a sediment trap where deposition built up Gilbert-type delta sequences. At the onset of eruption, magma began to interact with a moderate amount of groundwater in the water-saturated sand. As eruption continued phreatomagmatic blasts excavated downward into limestones, providing access to abundant karst water and deeper to sandstones and schist both providing large amount of fracture-filling water, At the surface, this 'wet' eruption led to the emplacement of massive tuff breccias by fall, surge, mudflow and gravity flow deposition. The nature of the TMVC maar eruptions and their deposits appears to depend on the hydrological condition of the karst and/or fracture-filling aquifer, which varies seasonally with rainfall and spring runoff. The West and East Maar volcanoes of TMVC are interpreted to represent low water input from the karst and/or fracture-filling aquifer ('summer vent'), whereas the East Maar is interpreted to have formed when abundant karst and/or fracture-filling water was available ('spring vent').

(eds B.Durand, L. Jolivet, F.Horvath and M.Seranne). We present an up-to-date stratigraphic framework for the Late Miocene (post-rift) non-marine strata of the western Pannonian Basin, based on unconformity-bounded units as they are derived from seismic interpretation. The data set used for this study consisted of some 1700 km of conventional, multi-channel reflection seismic profiles across western Hungary integrated by 190 km of high-resolution, single- channel seismic profiles acquired on Lake Balaton in June of 1993. Seismic stratigraphic analysis has been constrained by selected geological mapping, well-logs and borehole data. A magnetostratigraphic record was also available from a corehole in the study area, together with recent K/Ar dating of basaltic rocks from the Balaton highland. Five third-order (with 10 6 year periodicities) stratigraphic sequences have been recognized at regional scale in the Late Miocene succession of the western Pannonian Basin. We have designated these sequences, from bottom to top, as Sarmatian-1 (SAR-1) and Pannonian-1 (PAN-1) to Pannonian-4 (PAN-4). Reliable time constraints were only available for the two maximum flooding surfaces of sequences PAN-2 and PAN-3, namely mfs-2 (9.0 Ma) and mfs-3 (7.4 Ma), and the boundary of sequence PAN-2 (PAN-2 SB) which is approximately dated at 8.7 Ma. PAN-2 sequence boundary is associated with evidence of relative water-level drop in the Pannonian Lake and significant exposure of lake margins that is widely recorded in the so-called 'marginal facies' of western Hungary. The higher rank unit bounded by PAN-1 SB and PAN-4 SB includes most of the Pannonian s.l. succession of the central Paratethys and approximately correlates with the Tortonian-Messinian of the standard chronostratigraphy. Seemingly, no major palaeo-environmental impact was perceptible in the western Pannonian Basin during the Messinian salinity crisis of the Mediterranean. However a significant change in the regional stratigraphic patterns may be observed since earliest Pliocene (after PAN-4 SB), possibly associated with the very beginning of a large-scale tectonic inversion within the intra-Carpathian area. The case of Late Miocene non-marine strata of Pannonian Basin is a textbook example of how single categories of stratigraphic units do not fit (sometimes do not even approximate) chronostratigraphic correlation. The use of unconformity-bounded units offers new insights into the complex and long debated problem of stratigraphic correlation between Late Neogene deposits of the Pannonian Basin and 'similar' non-marine strata of the Central Paratethys realm. Our study shows that the so-called 'Pontian facies' of western Hungary correspond to an unconformity-bounded unit which is older than the Pontian s.s. facies of the stratotype area (Black Sea basin). Accordingly, we suggest that different stages may be used to discriminate between such similar-in-facies but different-in-age strata. We hence recommend the introduction of a new chronostratigraphic unit ('Danubian' or 'Transdanubian') in the Late Miocene series of Central Paratethys and a three-fold sub-division of the Pannonian (s.l.) strata into Early Pannonian (Pannonian s.s.), 'Middle Pannonian' ('Danubian' or 'Transdanubian') and Late Pannonian (Pontian s.s.) stages.}, keywords = {Europe; STRATIGRAPHY; Neogene; Sequence stratigraphy; basin evolution; tectonic evolution; Pontia; unconformity; Tortonia}, year = {1999}, pages = {357-390} } @article{MTMT:2947090, title = {Groundwater as a geologic agent: An overview of the causes, processes, and manifestations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2947090}, author = {Tóth, József}, doi = {10.1007/s100400050176}, journal-iso = {HYDROGEOL J}, journal = {HYDROGEOLOGY JOURNAL}, volume = {7}, unique-id = {2947090}, issn = {1431-2174}, abstract = {The objective of the present paper is to show that groundwater is a general geologic agent. This perception could not, and did not, evolve until the system nature of basinal groundwater flow and its properties, geometries, and controlling factors became recognized and understood through the 1960s and 1970s. The two fundamental causes for groundwater's active role in nature are its ability to interact with the ambient environment and the systematized spatial distribution of its flow. Interaction and flow occur simultaneously at all scales of space and time, although at correspondingly varying rates and intensities. Thus, effects of groundwater flow are created from the land surface to the greatest depths of the porous parts of the Earth's crust, and from a day's length through geologic times. Three main types of interaction between groundwater and environment are identified in this paper, with several special processes for each one, namely: (1) Chemical interaction, with processes of dissolution, hydration, hydrolysis, oxidation-reduction, attack by acids, chemical precipitation, base exchange, sulfate reduction, concentration, and ultrafiltration or osmosis; (2) Physical interaction, with processes of lubrication and pore-pressure modification; and (3) Kinetic interaction, with the transport processes of water, aqueous and nonaqueous matter, and heat. Owing to the transporting ability and spatial patterns of basinal flow, the effects of interaction are cumulative and distributed according to the geometries of the flow systems. The number and diversity of natural phenomena that are generated by groundwater flow are almost unlimited, due to the fact that the relatively few basic types are modified by some or all of the three components of the hydrogeologic environment: topography, geology, and climate. The six basic groups into which manifestations of groundwater flow have been divided are: (1) Hydrology and hydraulics; (2) Chemistry and mineralogy; (3) Vegetation; (4) Soil and rock mechanics; (5) Geomorphology; and (6) Transport and accumulation. Based on such a diversity of effects and manifestations, it is concluded that groundwater is a general geologic agent.}, year = {1999}, eissn = {1435-0157}, pages = {1-14} }
