Major
research topics of István Dunkl
Methodology
- Unconventional He geo-thermochronology (dating and diffusion experiments on
fluorite, oxides and other crazy mineral species).
- LA U-Pb geochronology (influence of the radiation damage density on ablation
and related topics).
- U-Pb-He double dating.
- Cross calibration of Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material and the ZHe
thermochronometer.
Some of the regional studies
- Provenance of Tertiary sediments in the intramontane basins and the surroundings
of the Eastern Alps and in the Pannonian basin.
- Apatite FT thermochronology of the Dolomites.
- Exhumation history of the Bohemian massif - two profiles are under investigation
in the Moravicum and in the Moldanubicum.
- Dating of Miocene ash layers in the Pannonian Basin and corretation to the
German Molasse and the Riess Crater.
- Provenance of the continental red beds in central Tibet.
- Geochemistry and geochronology of the so called "undeformed" dikes
in the Austroalpine realm, Eastern Alps.
- Origin and provenance of East Alpine, Dinaridic and Transdanubian bauxite
deposits.
- Exhumation history of SW Norway.
- Thermal maturation and exhumation history of the Hawasina and Jabal Akhdar
Windows, Oman.
