Abstract
: Recent fluvial tufa carbonates were investigated from the Szalajka Valley (Bükk Hungary) and Malom Valley (Balaton Uplands, Hungary) to (1) study the suitability of the published oxygen isotope-based palaeothermometers for tufa deposits, (2) find the most appropriate (closest to equilibrium) places downstream for temperature calculation. A good correlation was observed between 1000lnα and the temperature of the water from which the tufa precipitated close to the spring orifice in the Szalajka and Malom Valleys. Large differences between calculated and measured temperature values were seen in areas where the seasonal water temperature increased and decreased by several degrees during our studied period. The stable isotope composition of the measured Hungarian tufas represents intermediate values between the western and eastern parts of Europe, reflecting increasing continentality in climate from west to east. ples are reported relative to V-SMOW. The uncertainties of measurements were better than ±0.1 ‰ and ±1 ‰ for δ 18 O w and δD, respectively. Further details can be found in Czuppon et al. (2018).
期刊介绍:
GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA covers a wide spectrum of geological disciplines including geodynamics, tectonics and structural geology, volcanology, stratigraphy, geochronology and isotopic geology, karstology, geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, lithology and sedimentology, paleogeography, paleoecology, paleobiology and paleontology, paleomagnetism, magnetostratigraphy and other branches of applied geophysics, economic and environmental geology, experimental and theoretical geoscientific studies. Geologica Carpathica , with its 60 year old tradition, presents high-quality research papers devoted to all aspects not only of the Alpine-Carpathian-Balkanian geoscience but also with adjacent regions originated from the Mediterranean Tethys and its continental foreland. Geologica Carpathica is an Official Journal of the Carpathian-Balkan Geological Association.
