To date, there has been no coherent synthesis of the existing palaeo-records. During an INTIMATE meeting (Cluj Napoca, Romania) focused on identifying CEE paleo-records, it was decided to address this gap by presenting the palaeo-community with a compilation of high-quality climatic and vegetation records for the past 60–8 ka. The compilation should also serve as a reference point for the use in the modelling community working towards the INTIMATE project goals, and in data-model inter-comparison studies. This paper is therefore a compilation of up to date, best available quantitative and semi-quantitative records of past climate and biotic response from CEE covering this period. It first presents the proxy and archive used. Speleothems and loess mainly provide the evidences available for the 60–20 ka interval, whereas pollen records provide the main source of information for the Lateglacial and Holocene. It then examines the temporal and spatial patterns of climate variability inferred from different proxies, the temporal and spatial magnitude of the vegetation responses inferred from pollen records and highlights differences and similarities between proxies and sub-regions and the possible mechanisms behind this variability. Finally, it identifies weakness in the proxies and archives and their geographical distribution. This exercise also provides an opportunity to reflect on the status of research in the area and to identify future critical areas and subjects of research.}, keywords = {climate; POLLEN; Holocene; vegetation response; LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS; Glacial; INTIMATE; Terrestrial records}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1873-457X}, pages = {206-224}, orcid-numbers = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin/0000-0002-2844-8937; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @article{MTMT:2594039, title = {Late Pleniglacial vegetation in eastern-central Europe: are there modern analogues in Siberia?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2594039}, author = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin and Kunes, P and Jakab, Gusztáv and Sümegi, Pál and Pelánková, B and Schabitz, F and Braun, Mihály and Chytry, M}, doi = {10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.04.020}, journal-iso = {QUATERN SCI REV}, journal = {QUATERNARY SCIENCE REVIEWS}, volume = {95}, unique-id = {2594039}, issn = {0277-3791}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1873-457X}, pages = {60-79}, orcid-numbers = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin/0000-0002-2844-8937; Jakab, Gusztáv/0000-0002-2569-5967; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @article{MTMT:1979868, title = {Using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of bulk lake sediment geochemical data to reconstruct lateglacial climate changes in the South Carpathian Mountains}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1979868}, author = {Braun, Mihály and Hubay, Katalin and Magyari, Enikő Katalin and Veres, D and Papp, István and Bálint, M}, doi = {10.1016/j.quaint.2012.03.025}, journal-iso = {QUATERN INT}, journal = {QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {293}, unique-id = {1979868}, issn = {1040-6182}, year = {2013}, eissn = {1873-4553}, pages = {114-122}, orcid-numbers = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin/0000-0002-2844-8937; Papp, István/0000-0002-0006-9919} } @article{MTMT:2402859, title = {Status Report of the New AMS 14C Sample Preparation Lab of the Hertelendi Laboratory of Environmental Studies (Debrecen, Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2402859}, author = {Molnár, Mihály and Janovics, Róbert and Major, István and Orsovszki, J and Gönczi, R and Veres, Mihály and Leonard, A G and Castle, S M and Lange, T E and Wacker, L and Hajdas, I and T Jull, A J}, doi = {10.2458/azu_js_rc.55.16394}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {55}, unique-id = {2402859}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {2013}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {665-676}, orcid-numbers = {Major, István/0000-0003-4675-9875} } @article{MTMT:2333500, title = {Future Climate Impacts in Woodland and Forest Steppe Based on Holocene Paleoclimatic Trends, Paleobotanical Change in Central Part of the Carpathian Basin (Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2333500}, author = {Náfrádi, Katalin and Jakab, Gusztáv and Sümegi, Pál and Szelepcsényi, Zoltán and Törőcsik, Tünde}, doi = {10.4236/ajps.2013.46147}, journal-iso = {AM J PLANT SCI}, journal = {AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PLANT SCIENCES (AJPS)}, volume = {4}, unique-id = {2333500}, issn = {2158-2742}, abstract = {The Sirok Nyírjes-tó peat bog provides an almost full Holocene climatic record reconstructed by bog surface wetness investigations based on plant macrofossil analysis.

Representatives of the Tisza Culture were engaged in intensive farming complemented with foraging creating a complex system of hierarchical multi-layered settlements (tells). The favorable endowments of the sites with a large variety of multiple ecotones ideal for multifocal subsistence, as well as the introduction of new farming techniques ensured the establishment of long-term sedentary lifeways. However, according to the archeology, a major shift in subsistence happened toward the end of the Late Neolithic marking the terminal part of the evolution of the culture. Traditional crop cultivation was increasingly complemented with hunting, animal husbandry gaining importance. Other second-line resources like fish and shellfish followed the same pattern. Finally, tells were disintegrated and a new cultural group of the Copper Age emerged. The exact background of these transformations is still unknown. In order to see whether or not potential transformations in the local riparian environment had some role in shaping human behavior, a multiproxy paleoecological analysis was implemented on mollusk material of one of the largest tell sites of SE Hungary. Freshwater mollusks collected by humans in themselves characterize the quality of the water body from which they derive. They are also an excellent marker of socioeconomic response to environmental stress. According to our findings the emergence of new settlement phases and the intensified foraging could have been correlated with alteration of stream properties yielding successively higher floods. This was initially beneficial creating lush pasturelands for large bodied prey infiltrating the area during the referred period like aurochs, red-deer. But ultimately it might have reduced areas suitable for agriculture and living most likely leading to social disruption besides other cultural, social processes. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.}, keywords = {Hungary; Cultivation; Animalia; Cervus elaphus; Mollusca; Mollusks; Animal Husbandry; foraging behavior; Carpathian Basin; Tisza river; crop production; socioeconomic conditions; paleoecology; intensive agriculture; farming system; economic activity; alluvial plain; mollusc; Foraging; Bos primigenius; Neolithic; human settlement; economic history; cultural history; Social & economic crisis; Riparian environment; Multiproxy paleoecological analysis; Late Neolithic}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1095-9238}, pages = {3323-3339}, orcid-numbers = {Gulyás, Sándor/0000-0002-3384-2381; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @article{MTMT:1943040, title = {Riparian environment in shaping social and economic behavior during the first phase of the evolution of Late Neolithic tell complexes in SE Hungary (6th/5th millennia BC)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1943040}, author = {Gulyás, Sándor and Sümegi, Pál}, doi = {10.1016/j.jas.2011.06.005}, journal-iso = {J ARCHAEOL SCI}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, volume = {38}, unique-id = {1943040}, issn = {0305-4403}, abstract = {The period corresponding to the initial phase of cultural evolution in the Late Neolithic of SE Hungary (turn of the 6th and 5th millennia) is characterized by a major transformation recorded both in settlement structure and strategy, as well as material culture of the agrarian societies settled in the SE part of the Great Hungarian Plains. According to the available chronological data and archeology from the sites of multi-layered settlement complexes (tells) located on natural highs of the floodplain of the River Tisza, during the initial phase of its evolution representatives of the Tisza Culture were mainly confined to the SE part of the Great Hungarian Plains south of the Körös River. This period was followed by a relatively stable phase lasting about 150 years which hallmarked the greatest northward expansion of the culture. Some studies noticed strange features in connection with the first settlement complexes dated to the first period especially along the northern borderline of the culture's distribution; i.e. a loose cluster of distinct settlement nuclei instead of concentration of settlements to a confined area characteristic of tells. Furthermore, by the end of the first phase, in the evolution of some settlements a northward shift of the houses away from the water was recorded. Most likely these reflect a socioeconomic response to some transformation in the local and/or regional riparian environment. As shown by our data gained from the paleoecological analysis of freshwater mollusks from a tell site, the referred pre-transitional period was characterized by pronounced floods causing major perturbations in the regional riparian environment. At the same time, the introduction of new subsistence strategies including shellfishing and fishing and the reordering of settlement structure was also recorded at several sites implying a successful adaptation to such most likely climate-induced perturbation, which is contemporary with the 5.1 ky event known in the literature. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.}, keywords = {Hungary; climate change; Mollusca; chronology; Carpathian Basin; Tisza river; paleoecology; floodplain; climate variation; mollusc; PERTURBATION; settlement history; riparian zone; Social and economic development; Multi-proxy paleoecological analysis; Freshwater mollusks; Neolithic; cultural history; Riparian environment}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1095-9238}, pages = {2683-2695}, orcid-numbers = {Gulyás, Sándor/0000-0002-3384-2381; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @{MTMT:2877642, title = {Introduction.

An extensive outcrop-based sedimentological and micropaleontological study correlated to seismic and well data discusses the elements of the Miocene petroleum system. The facies associations are indicative of alluvial, fandelta, shallow- and deep-marine settings. These are grouped into four different depositional systems (evaporite, mud-carbonate, sand-mud and sand-gravel). Their evolution in time and space shows large differences between various parts of the basin that have important consequences for exploration. The Transylvanian gas is formed by more than 99% methane of bacterial origin. This is sourced by low quality (<1% TOC) deep-marine shales. The shales contain Type II and Type III kerogen. The organic material is thermally immature. The best source rocks were deposited during major transgressions in the central-eastern parts of the basin. In general, reservoir quality is the best (porosity < 20%, permeability < 1 D) in the basin center, where reservoirs are deep-marine turbidite sandstones. Lower quality reservoirs are conglomerate-rich slope channels and various shallow-marine sandstones located near the basin margins. The seals are formed by shales that hold gas columns of up to 60 m. The most common structural traps are in 4-way dip closures related to salt-cored folds. Their timing is coeval with the late (post-Pannonian) exhumation of the basin and strongly linked to coeval salt tectonics. This requires a late charge and migration. The largest traps typically have multistory (up to 20) pay zones with a total of 100 BCF to 1 TCF reserves. Exploration to date has focused on structural traps, but most of the obvious structures have been drilled. It is argued that significant exploration potential lies in stratigraphic plays, including confined submarine fans, slope channels, detached lowstand prograding wedges, incised valleys, diapir flanks, salt-tectonics related unconformities and various sub-volcanic plays. Risks of the petroleum system elements associated to these plays in different areas of the basin are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Diatom-based transfer functions were applied to estimate the lake's trophic status and pH, while reconstruction of the water-depth changes was based on the plant macrofossil and diatom records. The lowest Holocene water depths were found between 9000 and 7400 calibrated BP years, when the crater was occupied by Sphagnum-bog. Significant increases in water depth were found from 5350(1), 3300(2) and 2700 cal yr BP. Of these, the first two coincided with major terrestrial vegetation changes, namely (1) the establishment of Carpinus betulus on the crater slope and (2) the replacement of the lakeshore Picea abies forest by Fagus sylvatica. The chemical record indicated significant soil changes along with the canopy changes (from coniferous to deciduous) that led to increased in-lake productivity and pH. A further increase in water depth around 2700 cal yr BP resulted in stable thermal stratification and hypolimnetic anoxia that via P-release further increased in-lake productivity and eventually led to phytoplankton blooms with large populations of Scenedesmus. High productivity was depressed by anthropogenic lakeshore forest clearances from ca. 1000 cal yr BP that led to the re-establishment of P. abies on the lakeshore and consequent acidification of the lake water. On the whole, these data suggest that Lake Saint Ana is a vulnerable ecosystem: in-lake productivity is higher under deciduous canopy and litter, and considerably repressed by coniferous canopy and litter. The lake today subsists in a managed environment that is far from its natural state. This would be a dense F. sylvatica forest supplying more nutrients and keeping up a more productive in-lake flora and fauna.}, keywords = {POLLEN; Romania; VEGETATION HISTORY; CLIMATE VARIABILITY; GUTAIULUI MOUNTAINS; NORTHWESTERN ROMANIA; ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY; POSTGLACIAL COLONIZATION; POLLEN ANALYSIS; NW ROMANIA; CAL YR BP; SPRUCE PICEA-ABIES; Sediment chemistry; Siliceous algae; Macrofossil; Lake level change}, year = {2009}, eissn = {1573-5117}, pages = {29-63}, orcid-numbers = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin/0000-0002-2844-8937; Jakab, Gusztáv/0000-0002-2569-5967; Karátson, Dávid/0000-0003-0386-1239; Papp, István/0000-0002-0006-9919} } @article{MTMT:1951407, title = {Middle Age paleoecological and paleoclimatological reconstruction in the Carpathian Basin}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1951407}, author = {Sümegi, Pál and Jakab, Gusztáv and Majkut, P and Törőcsik, Tünde and Zatykó, Csilla}, journal-iso = {IDŐJÁRÁS}, journal = {IDŐJÁRÁS / QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE HUNGARIAN METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE}, volume = {113}, unique-id = {1951407}, issn = {0324-6329}, year = {2009}, eissn = {0324-6329}, pages = {265-298}, orcid-numbers = {Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440; Jakab, Gusztáv/0000-0002-2569-5967} } @article{MTMT:1255465, title = {Review of the present-day geodynamics of the Pannonian basin: progress}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1255465}, author = {Bada, G and Horváth, Ferenc and Gerner, P and Fejes, I}, doi = {10.1016/S0264-3707(98)00013-1}, journal-iso = {J GEODYN}, journal = {JOURNAL OF GEODYNAMICS}, volume = {27}, unique-id = {1255465}, issn = {0264-3707}, abstract = {We present a comprehensive review on what we have learned during the last decade and what we need to know in the future about the present-day crustal deformation and geodynamics of the Pannonian basin and its surroundings, The recent tectonic activity of the region is controlled primarily by the counterclockwise rotation of the Adriatic microplate relative to Europe around a pole in the Western Alps. Due to the indentation of this crustal block against the Southern Alpine-Dinaric fold and thrust belt, intense shortening is effecting these orogens as evidenced by the general seismicity pattern and crustal deformation. The present-day kinematics of the Pannonian basin shows that the area is pushed from the south-southwest. As a result, strike-slip to compressive faulting is observed well inside the Pannonian basin and, furthermore, the nearly complete absence of normal faulting in the whole study area suggests that extension in the Pannonian basin has been finished and structural inversion is in progress. Due to an increase of intraplate compressional stress the Pannonian lithosphere exhibits large-scale bending manifested by the Quaternary subsidence and uplift history. The orientation of the modern tectonic stress field in and around the Pannonian basin shows a remarkable radial pattern of maximum horizontal stress around the Adriatic microplate. N-S directed compression observed at its northern tip in the Southern Alps gradually becomes NE-SW oriented along the Dinaric belt. This pattern is further traceable well inside the Pannonian basin, while in the Vrancea zone of the southeastern Carpathians E-W to ESE-WNW directed compression can be determined. Finite element stress modelling suggests that the stress regime in the Pannonian basin is governed by distinct tectonic factors in the overall convergent setting associated with the Africa-Europe collision. The most important stress source appears to be the active push of the Adriatic microplate, Additional boundary conditions, such as the deformation of crustal blocks with different geometry and rigidity at the margin of the Pannonian-Carpathian area and the effect of active compression in the Vrancea zone, significantly influence the stress regime and pattern. Finally, with a brief overview about the principal aims of the Central Europe Regional Geodynamic Project (CERGOP), we argue for the need of further investigations applying the latest techniques of space geodesy (GPS). This international cooperation can provide an excellent opportunity to further develop our understanding of the recent crustal deformation in Central Europe and to refine concepts and models about the tectonic inversion of sedimentary basins with back-are origin.

A map presenting Miocene faults of regional significance has been also constructed for the same region by using a wealth of recently available national and/or more local studies. It is suggested that observed crustal and lithospheric structural contrasts have been controlled primarily by Neogene kinematic history of the region. Kinematic history is characterized by the following main patterns: (1) indentation by Adria and large-scale backthrusting in the Southern Alps; (2) eastward escape and extension of the Eastern Alps; (3) extensional collapse in the Pannonian basin area; (4) formation of broad wrench fault systems along strike in the Dinarides and Southern Carpathians, and the Western Carpathians with dextral and sinistral shear, respectively; (5) compression and accretion of the external thrust and fold belt in the Eastern Carpathians. These kinematic patterns are thought to be interrelated and all are manifestations of the late-stage evolution of an overthickened orogenic wedge. In order to arrive at a better understanding of the mechanism of extension, which formed the Pannonian basin, deep crustal seismic profiles, hydrocarbon exploration reflection lines and borehole data have been analyzed in the Little Hungarian Plain. This plain represents the transition zone between the Alps and the Pannonian lowlands, and the results are illustrated by eight interpreted cross-sections. One result of regional importance is the clear recognition that the Transdanubian Central Range at the southeastern flank of the Little Hungarian Plain is composed of Alpine (pre-Senonian) thrust sheets. This finding marks the end of a century of debate: the allochthony of the substrata of the Pannonian basin can be now considered proven. Another result of more general interest is that these cross-sections document the mode of lithospheric extension. Preexisting compressional detachment planes reactivate as low-angle normal faults and lead to tectonic unroofing of deeply buried metamorphic terranes characterized by ductile flow along subhorizontal lineation.}, year = {1993}, eissn = {1879-3266}, pages = {333-357} } @article{MTMT:1177724, title = {Geochronologic and paleoclimatic characterization of Quaternary sediments in the Great Hungarian Plain}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1177724}, author = {Hertelendi, Ede and Sümegi, Pál and Szöőr, Gy}, doi = {10.1017/S0033822200064146}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {34}, unique-id = {1177724}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {1992}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {833-839}, orcid-numbers = {Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @article{MTMT:1659829, title = {A counter system for high-precision 14C dating}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1659829}, author = {Hertelendi, Ede and Csongor, Éva and Záborszky, László and Molnár, József and Dajkó, Gábor and Győrffy, Miklós and Nagy, S}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {31}, unique-id = {1659829}, issn = {0033-8222}, keywords = {Software; radiocarbon dating; Carbon-14; DETECTOR; counter system; carbon-14 dating}, year = {1989}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {399-406} }
