Researcher at Department of Environmental Geography, Institute of Geonics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i. His research specialization is geomorphology (morpho-structural analysis, neotectonics, sedimentology, anthropogenous impact) and geography of natural hazards (slope deformations, flood landforms) used in environmental protection and risk)

Role in the project
Determination and assessment of regional Quaternary neotectonic features, fluvial landforms and slope processes aiming at definition of main evolutionary stages of the study area. Field geomorphological survey and GIS analysis will be applied.

Head of AMS C-14 group of Hertelendi Laboratory of Environmental Studies in MTA ATOMKI (Debrecen, Hungary). His special field is application of C-14 isotope in geology, archeology, hydrology and environmental protection. Besides radiocarbon applications they develop new sample preparation and sampling methods. Their Lab uses MICADAS type AMS technique, combined with special gas ion source which gives the possibility of C-14 analyses of samples down to the 0.01 mg size.
