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.
