For geothermal exploration, it is crucial to have an insight into the subsurface temperature distribution. A new thermal model of Hungary is presented extending from the surface down to the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) based on a new stochastic thermal modeling workflow. The model solves the heat equation in steady-state, assuming conduction as the main heat transfer mechanism. At the top and the base, we adopt a constant surface temperature and basal heat flow condition. For the calibration of the model, temperature measurements were collected from the Geothermal Database of Hungary. The model is built up in a layered structure, where each layer has its own thermal properties. The prior thermal properties and basal condition of the model are updated through the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation technique. The prior model shows a misfit with the observed temperatures, which is explained fundamentally by transient thermal effects and non-conductive heat transfer. Other misfits can be attributed to a-priori assumptions on thermal properties, boundary conditions, and uncertainty in the model geometry. The updated models considerably improve the prior model, showing a better fit with measured records. The updated models are capable to reproduce the thermal effect of lithospheric extension and the sedimentary infill of the Pannonian Basin. Results indicate that the hottest areas below 3 km are linked to the basement highs surrounded by deep subbasins of the Great Hungarian Plain. Our models provide an indication on the potential sites for future EGS in Hungary and can serve as an input for geothermal resource assessment.}, keywords = {EVOLUTION; Neogene; Tectonics; continental lithosphere; STRUCTURAL-ANALYSIS; Quaternary volcanism; Back-arc basins; HEAT-FLOW; Geography, Physical; TRANSDANUBIAN RANGE HUNGARY}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1872-6364}, pages = {48-64}, orcid-numbers = {Békési, Eszter/0000-0003-3561-1656; Lenkey, László/0000-0003-4236-4075; Porkoláb, Kristóf/0000-0001-7470-8296; Balázs, Attila/0000-0003-2948-0397} } @article{MTMT:30339209, title = {Relocation of Seismicity in the Pannonian Basin Using a Global 3D Velocity Model}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30339209}, author = {Bondár, István and Mónus, Péter and Czanik, Csenge and Marótiné Kiszely, Márta and Gráczer, Zoltán and Wéber, Zoltán and AlpArray, Working Group}, doi = {10.1785/0220180143}, journal-iso = {SEISMOL RES LETT}, journal = {SEISMOLOGICAL RESEARCH LETTERS}, volume = {89}, unique-id = {30339209}, issn = {0895-0695}, abstract = {The Pannonian basin together with the surrounding orogenic belts of Alps, Carpathians, and Dinarides represents a geologically complex region that exhibits significant lateral variation in lithospheric structure.

Previous receiver function analyses in this region had to deal with much smaller station density and time span than those available to us. In the analysis we used the data of some 48 seismological stations. These include not only the permanent stations from Hungary and permanent stations from neighbouring countries (Slovakia and Slovenia), but also the temporary broadband stations that were installed within the framework of the AlpArray project. Having applied rather strict manual quality control on the calculated radial receiver functions we stacked the receiver functions. Using the H–K grid search method we determined the Moho depth and the Vp/Vs ratio beneath the seismological stations in the western part of the Pannonian Basin. The unprecedented density of the AlpArray network, combined with the permanent stations, allowed us to derive high resolution Moho and Vp/Vs maps for the West Pannonian Basin, together with uncertainty estimates. Our preliminary results agree well with previous studies and complement them with finer details on the Moho topography and crustal thickness. © 2018, Akadémiai Kiadó.}, keywords = {Pannonian Basin; Pannonian Basin; AlpArray project; Receiver function analysis}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2213-5820}, pages = {309-321}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @article{MTMT:3307414, title = {Double-difference relocation of the 29 January 2011 ML 4.5 Oroszlány earthquake and its aftershocks and its relevance to the rheology of the lithosphere and geothermal prospectivity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3307414}, author = {Békési, Eszter and Süle, Bálint and Lenkey, László and Lenkey-Bogé, Á and Bondár, István}, doi = {10.1007/s40328-017-0195-7}, journal-iso = {ACTA GEOD GEOPHYS}, journal = {ACTA GEODAETICA ET GEOPHYSICA}, volume = {52}, unique-id = {3307414}, issn = {2213-5812}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2213-5820}, pages = {229-242}, orcid-numbers = {Békési, Eszter/0000-0003-3561-1656; Lenkey, László/0000-0003-4236-4075; Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @article{MTMT:3273976, title = {Numerical evolution of the asymmetry in the compositionally inhomogeneous lower mantle driven by Earth’s rotation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3273976}, author = {Bozóki, Tamás and Herein, Mátyás and Galsa, Attila}, doi = {10.1007/s40328-016-0172-6}, journal-iso = {ACTA GEOD GEOPHYS}, journal = {ACTA GEODAETICA ET GEOPHYSICA}, volume = {52}, unique-id = {3273976}, issn = {2213-5812}, keywords = {HETEROGENEITY; MODELS; BASE; Numerical modelling; OCEAN; CONVECTION; Tectonics; parameter; Mantle convection; Moon; TIDAL FRICTION; Large low shear velocity provinces; Earth's rotation}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2213-5820}, pages = {331-343}, orcid-numbers = {Bozóki, Tamás/0000-0002-1672-1510; Herein, Mátyás/0000-0003-1903-3761; Galsa, Attila/0000-0002-7198-4524} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:3316600, title = {The First Infrasound Array in Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3316600}, author = {Czanik, Csenge and Bondár, István}, booktitle = {CTBT: Science and Technology Conference}, unique-id = {3316600}, year = {2017}, pages = {9}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @article{MTMT:3315040, title = {A 2013. évi Heves megyei földrengéssorozat helymeghatározása többeseményes algoritmussal}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3315040}, author = {Czecze, Barbara and Süle, Bálint and Bondár, István}, journal-iso = {MAGYAR GEOFIZIKA}, journal = {MAGYAR GEOFIZIKA}, volume = {58}, unique-id = {3315040}, issn = {0025-0120}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2677-1497}, pages = {162-174}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @book{MTMT:3313351, title = {Hungarian National Seismological Bulletin 2016}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3313351}, author = {Bondár, István and Czanik, Csenge and Czifra, Tibor and Győri, Erzsébet and Marótiné Kiszely, Márta and Mónus, Péter and Süle, Bálint and Szanyi, Gyöngyvér and Szűcs, Eszter and Tóth, László and Varga, Péter and Wesztergom, Viktor and Wéber, Zoltán}, editor = {Gráczer, Zoltán}, publisher = {CSFK Geodéziai és Geofizikai Intézet Kövesligethy Radó Szeizmológiai Obszervatórium}, unique-id = {3313351}, year = {2017}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074; Szűcs, Eszter/0000-0001-6781-4269; Wéber, Zoltán/0000-0002-0017-3505} } @article{MTMT:3256462, title = {Estimating the upper limit of prehistoric peak ground acceleration using an in situ, intact and vulnerable stalagmite from Plavecká priepast cave (Detrekői-zsomboly), Little Carpathians, Slovakia—first results}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3256462}, author = {Gribovszki, Katalin Eszter and Kovács, Károly and Mónus, Péter and Bokelmann, G and Konecny, P and Lednická, M and Moseley, G and Spötl, C and Edwards, RL and Bednárik, M and Brimich, L and Tóth, László}, doi = {10.1007/s10950-017-9655-3}, journal-iso = {J SEISMOL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF SEISMOLOGY}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {3256462}, issn = {1383-4649}, abstract = {Earthquakes hit urban centres in Europe infrequently, but occasionally with disastrous effects. Obtaining an unbiased view of seismic hazard (and risk) is therefore very important. In principle, the best way to test probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHAs) is to compare them with observations that are entirely independent of the procedure used to produce PSHA models. Arguably, the most valuable information in this context should be information on long-term hazard, namely maximum intensities (or magnitudes) occurring over time intervals that are at least as long as a seismic cycle. The new observations can provide information of maximum intensity (or magnitude) for long timescale as an input data for PSHA studies as well. Long-term information can be gained from intact stalagmites in natural caves. These formations survived all earthquakes that have occurred over thousands of years, depending on the age of the stalagmite. Their ‘survival’ requires that the horizontal ground acceleration (HGA) has never exceeded a certain critical value within that time period. Here, we present such a stalagmite-based case study from the Little Carpathians of Slovakia. A specially shaped, intact and vulnerable stalagmite in the Plavecká priepast cave was examined in 2013. This stalagmite is suitable for estimating the upper limit of horizontal peak ground acceleration generated by prehistoric earthquakes. The critical HGA values as a function of time going back into the past determined from the stalagmite that we investigated are presented. For example, at the time of Jókő event (1906), the critical HGA value cannot have been higher than 1 and 1.3 m/s2 at the time of the assumed Carnuntum event (∼340 AD), and 3000 years ago, it must have been lower than 1.7 m/s2. We claimed that the effect of Jókő earthquake (1906) on the location of the Plavecká priepast cave is consistent with the critical HGA value provided by the stalagmite we investigated.}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1573-157X}, pages = {1111-1130}, orcid-numbers = {Gribovszki, Katalin Eszter/0000-0003-2577-0127} } @article{MTMT:3266126, title = {HOSSZÚTÁVÚ FÖLDRENGÉSVESZÉLYEZTETETTSÉG-BECSLÉS A DETREKŐI-ZSOMBOLY (KIS-KÁRPÁTOK, SZLOVÁKIA) SÉRTETLEN ÁLLÓCSEPPKÖVÉNEK VIZSGÁLATÁVAL}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3266126}, author = {Gribovszki, Katalin Eszter and Kovács, Károly and Mónus, Péter and Bokelmann, Götz and Konecny, Pavel and Lednická, Marketa and Moseley, Gina and Edwards, R Lawrence and Spötl, Cristoph and Bednárik, Martin and Brimich, Ladislav and Tóth, László and Hegymegi, Erika and Kegyes-Brassai, Csaba and Szeidovitz, Győző}, journal-iso = {MAGYAR GEOFIZIKA}, journal = {MAGYAR GEOFIZIKA}, volume = {58}, unique-id = {3266126}, issn = {0025-0120}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2677-1497}, pages = {1-16}, orcid-numbers = {Gribovszki, Katalin Eszter/0000-0003-2577-0127} } @book{MTMT:3159705, title = {Hungarian National Seismological Bulletin 2015}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3159705}, author = {Gráczer, Zoltán and Bondár, István and Czanik, Csenge and Tibor, Czifra and Győri, Erzsébet and Marótiné Kiszely, Márta and Mónus, Péter and Süle, Bálint and Szanyi, Gyöngyvér and Szűcs, Eszter and Tóth, László and Varga, Péter and Wesztergom, Viktor and Wéber, Zoltán}, editor = {Gráczer, Zoltán}, publisher = {CSFK Geodéziai és Geofizikai Intézet Kövesligethy Radó Szeizmológiai Obszervatórium}, unique-id = {3159705}, year = {2016}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074; Szűcs, Eszter/0000-0001-6781-4269; Wéber, Zoltán/0000-0002-0017-3505} } @article{MTMT:2748873, title = {ISC-GEM: Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900–2009), II.

The ISC-GEM global catalogue consists of some 19 thousand instrumentally recorded, moderate to large earthquakes, spanning 110 years of seismicity. We relocated all events in the catalogue using a two-tier approach. The EHB location methodology (Engdahl et al., 1998) was applied first to obtain improved hypocentres with special focus on the depth determination. The locations were further refined in the next step by fixing the depths to those from the EHB analysis and applying the new International Seismological Centre (ISC) location algorithm (Bondár and Storchak, 2011) that reduces location bias by accounting for correlated travel-time prediction error structure. To facilitate the relocation effort, some one million seismic P and S wave arrival-time data were added to the ISC database for the period between 1904 and 1970, either from original station bulletins in the ISC archive or by digitizing the scanned images of the International Seismological Summary (ISS) bulletin (Villaseñor and Engdahl, 2005, 2007). Although no substantial amount of new phase data were acquired for the modern period (1964–2009), the number of phases used in the location has still increased by three millions, owing to fact that both the EHB and ISC locators use most well-recorded ak135 (Kennett et al., 1995) phases in the location. We show that the relocation effort yielded substantially improved locations, especially in the first half of the 20th century; we demonstrate significant improvements in focal depth estimates in subduction zones and other seismically active regions; and we show that the ISC-GEM catalogue provides an improved view of 110 years of global seismicity of the Earth.

The ISC Bulletin covers some 50 yr (1960-2011) of seismicity. The recent years have seen a dramatic increase both in the number of reported events and especially in the number of reported phases, owing to the ever-increasing number of stations worldwide. Similar ray paths will produce correlated traveltime prediction errors due to unmodelled heterogeneities in the Earth, resulting in underestimated location uncertainties, and for unfavourable network geometries, location bias. Hence, the denser and more unbalanced the global seismic station coverage becomes, the less defensible is the assumption (that is the observations are independent), which is made by most location algorithms. To address this challenge we have developed a new location algorithm for the ISC that accounts for correlated error structure, and uses all IASPEI standard phases with a valid ak135 traveltime prediction to obtain more accurate event locations. In this paper we describe the new ISC locator, and present validation tests by relocating the ground truth events in the IASPEI Reference Event List, as well as by relocating the entire ISC Bulletin. We show that the new ISC location algorithm provides small, but consistent location improvements, considerable improvements in depth determination and significantly more accurate formal uncertainty estimates. We demonstrate that the new algorithm, through the use of later phases and testing for depth resolution, considerably clusters event locations more tightly, thus providing an improved view of the seismicity of the Earth.}, keywords = {PHASES; CALIBRATION; UNCERTAINTY; Earth; Barents Sea; NEIGHBORHOOD ALGORITHM; VELOCITY MODEL; DEPTH DETERMINATION; SEISMIC-EVENT LOCATION; Theoretical seismology; Computational seismology; TRAVEL-TIMES}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1365-246X}, pages = {1220-1244}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @article{MTMT:2747867, title = {A New Ground Truth Data Set For Seismic Studies}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2747867}, author = {Bondár, István and McLaughlin, KL}, doi = {10.1785/gssrl.80.3.465}, journal-iso = {SEISMOL RES LETT}, journal = {SEISMOLOGICAL RESEARCH LETTERS}, volume = {80}, unique-id = {2747867}, issn = {0895-0695}, keywords = {MODEL; CALIBRATION; IMS STATIONS; EVENT LOCATION}, year = {2009}, eissn = {1938-2057}, pages = {465-472}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @article{MTMT:2747868, title = {Seismic Location Bias and Uncertainty in the Presence of Correlated and Non-Gaussian Travel-Time Errors}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2747868}, author = {Bondár, István and McLaughlin, K}, doi = {10.1785/0120080922}, journal-iso = {B SEISMOL SOC AM}, journal = {BULLETIN OF THE SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA}, volume = {99}, unique-id = {2747868}, issn = {0037-1106}, abstract = {Correlated travel-time errors bias both seismic location and location uncertainty estimates. Methodologies are introduced to model travel-time correlation structures and to account for them in standard location algorithms. A robust method based on copula theory is used for estimating variogram models for travel-time error. Generic, transportable variogram models are presented for Pn and teleseismic P phases. A linearized iterative location algorithm is introduced that takes into account the correlated travel-time error structure represented by the covariance matrix generated from the generic variogram models for a specific network. We show that ignoring the correlated error structure leads to rapidly deteriorating error ellipse coverage with increasingly correlated networks. We demonstrate through the relocation of ground truth (GT) events that taking into account the correlated model error structure significantly improves error ellipse coverage and, for unbalanced networks, reduces location bias. Monte Carlo experiments show that the deteriorating effect of non-Gaussian error distributions, albeit consistent and nonnegligible, is of secondary importance compared to the penalty paid for ignoring the correlation structure in travel-time errors.}, keywords = {CALIBRATION; Explosions; magnitude; Mantle; STATIONS; SEISMOGRAMS; VELOCITY MODEL; HYPOCENTER LOCATION; EARTHQUAKE LOCATION; EVENT LOCATION}, year = {2009}, eissn = {1943-3573}, pages = {172-193}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} } @article{MTMT:2747875, title = {Epicentre accuracy based on seismic network criteria}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2747875}, author = {Bondár, István and Myers, SC and Engdahl, ER and Bergman, EA}, doi = {10.1111/j.1365-246X.2004.02070.x}, journal-iso = {GEOPHYS J INT}, journal = {GEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {156}, unique-id = {2747875}, issn = {0956-540X}, abstract = {We establish reliable and conservative estimates for epicentre location accuracy using data that are readily available in published seismic bulletins. A large variety of seismic studies rely on catalogues of event locations, making proper assessment of location uncertainty critical. Event location and uncertainty parameters in most global, regional and national earthquake catalogues are obtained from traditional linearized inversion methods using a 1-D Earth model to predict traveltimes. Reported catalogue uncertainties are based on the assumption that error processes are Gaussian, zero mean and uncorrelated. Unfortunately, these assumptions are commonly violated, leading to the underestimation of true location uncertainty, especially at high confidence levels. We find that catalogue location accuracy is most reliably estimated by station geometry. We make use of two explosions with exactly known epicentres to develop local network location (0degrees-2.5degrees) accuracy criteria. Using Monte Carlo simulations of network geometry, we find that local network locations are accurate to within 5 km with a 95 per cent confidence level when the network meets the following criteria: (1) there are 10 or more stations, all within 250 km, (2) an azimuthal gap of less than 110, (3) a secondary azimuthal gap of less than 160 and (4) at least one station within 30 km. To derive location accuracy criteria for near-regional (2.5degrees-10degrees), regional (2.5degrees-20degrees) and teleseismic (28degrees-91degrees) networks, we use a large data set of exceptionally well-located earthquakes and nuclear explosions. Beyond local distances, we find that the secondary azimuthal gap is sufficient to constrain epicentre accuracy, and location error increases when the secondary azimuthal gap exceeds 120degrees. When station coverage meets the criterion of a secondary azimuth gap of less than 120, near-regional networks provide 20 km accuracy at the 90 per cent confidence level, while regional and teleseismic networks provide 25 km accuracy at the 90 per cent confidence level.}, keywords = {ALGORITHM; EARTHQUAKE LOCATION; EVENT LOCATION; TRAVEL-TIMES; seismic calibration; epicentre accuracy}, year = {2004}, eissn = {1365-246X}, pages = {483-496}, orcid-numbers = {Bondár, István/0000-0002-4892-1074} }
