The objective of the course is that students become familiar with the Pannonian Basin and tectonic environment of structural development. The course follows the basin evolution time course of three main phases of 1) early and middle Miocene basin kialakulástól (rifting) 2) Late Miocene - through Pliocene thermal (post-rift) episodes in the region 3) neotectonic phase (Pool inversion). Described herein are kinematic and dynamic models of the basin evolution, the history of science aspects fully into account. Physical state and the major phases of the deformation history of the Pannonian region.
