About the Research Group

    Supported by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences the research group has been established by Professor Elemér Vadász at the Eötvös university in 1958 for continuous study of geology of Hungary and summarisation of the relevant knowledge. In 1971, after death of Professor Vadász, Professor József Fülöp took over the leadership of the group preserving its scientific profile. Between 1994 and 2007, subsequent to death Professor Fülöp, János Haas was the head of the group (Geological Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Eötvös University). Research Group of Geophysics and Environmental Physics and Research Group of Geoinformatics and Space Science were also associated to the Institute of Geography and Geosciences. The present-day interdisciplinary earth science research group came into being by amalgamation of the three former groups under the name Geological, Geophysical and Space Science Research Group.
