The volcanic supply pathway is an important basis for our research, because the lithospheric rocks (and their trapped fluid inclusions) sampled by the basalt form the basis of our research. It is important information for us to understand what within the lithosphere influences/modifies the subvertical direction of volcanic upwelling; this will give us insight into the possible direction of the sampled lithosphere.
Our new paper on the spatial and temporal sampling of the volcanic centres of the Bakony-Balaton Highlands Volcanic Area is now available in the prestigious volcanological journal, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research. Geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical methods were used to analyse the spatial distribution of volcanoes. Our results indicate that in a significant number of cases, pre-volcanic tectonics and the inherited structural elements (faults) that have developed have a significant influence on the location of volcanoes. 
In this paper we conclude (Mátyás Hencz et al.) that inherited structural elements may have played an important role in the upwelling of magma in the upper crust: they may have channeled the melt, diverted it from its original path and caused the alignment of volcanoes at the surface.
The research was carried out in collaboration with the MTA FI Lendület Pannon LitH2Oscope Research Group.
