Research interest

- Carbonates: mineralogy and geochemistry of carbonates in soils-paleosols, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

- Cultural heritage:

- archaeometry of archaeological findings (mostly marbles, limestones and pottery)

- origin, deterioration and conservation of building materials

- Economic geology: rock alterations in high- and low-sulphidation type epithermal systems in Hungary (Tokaj and Velence Mountains)

- Geochemistry and Paleoclimate (G & P Research Group)
