Research fields:
River dynamics
• Dinamics of meandering rivers, controls of river planform types.
• Geodynamical and neotectonic settings as specific controls of the river planforms.
• Change of the behaviour of the Tisza River (Hungary) and its tributaries, in connection with the uneven subsidence of the Great Hungarian Plain.
Geoinformatics
