The research was focused mainly on surveying lake deposits, as well as the morphology and structure of the Pre-Quaternary lake deposits and the morphology and structure of the Pre-Quaternary basement of Lake Balaton. Paleontological investigations
(pollen, diatoms, ostracods) in the 4 subbasins of the lake allowed the reconstruction of the ecological history of the area as well providing detailed stratigraphic information. Radiocarbon dating of peat helps to date the beginning of lake formation
. In the Holocene increasing temperature and precipitation brought about a progressive rise in lake level.

Lake Balaton being a recreation area of international significance, research on the influx of sediments and solutes as well as on pollution and eutrophication is very important. Methods include a detailed analysis of a test area typical for the N

in the hydrogeological system of the Hévíz lake. The paleogeographical reconstruction was based on large-scale geological models. A special attention was paid to the geomorphological control on sedimentation and karstification. The consequences of differential erosion
The eruptive history of the Tihany Peninsula (Lake Balaton, Hungary) has been studied in detail to understand the evolution of volcanic and tectonic structures. Tectonic and depositional features indicate a maar-type origin of the Outer Lake
Until recently only geomorphological features and mammal fossils had been known as evidence to the long-debated dry-warm semidesert or hot desert climate in the Carpathian basin following the filling up of the Pannonian Lake. A comparison of samples
