The evolution of the Great Hungarian Plain fluvial system - Fluvial processes in a subsiding area from the beginning of the Weichselian

摘要

0 In the Great Hungarian Plain (GHP), one of the most complex fluvial systems of Europe developed through tectonic and climatic factors and vegetation change. The aim of the present study is to summarise these controlling factors and to describe the evolution of the GHP. Special attention is paid to the latest results on late Weichselian and Holocene development in the Tisza River and their effects on the river's largest tributary: the Maros River.
