Geological Formations and Processes Exploration
Geological Formations and Processes Exploration is a research topic within Geophysics. Science Explorer counts 9.2k research works in it since 1950. 9.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the tectonic evolution, geodynamic processes, and seismic structure of the Carpathian-Pannonian region, including the Alpine orogeny, Pannonian Basin formation, and Neogene continental collision. It explores crustal deformation, seismicity, and the geological history of the area during the Miocene period.
