We warmly congratulate Tamás Spránitz, a key member of our research group, who, as project leader, has been awarded funding of approximately HUF 4.3 million through the support of the Austrian-Hungarian Action Foundation, in collaboration with researchers from Montanuniversität Leoben.

The aim of the project is to investigate past fluid flow processes in the Austroalpine and Penninic metamorphic units located along the eastern margin of the Eastern Alps, in the region of the Austrian–Hungarian border. Following systematic field sampling, representative samples will be studied using fluid inclusion analyses, including microthermometry and Raman spectroscopy, in order to reconstruct ancient fluid flow along shear zones and its pressure–temperature conditions.
The results will contribute to the assessment of the region’s natural hydrogen potential and provide new insights into fluid migration processes in the Earth’s crust, as well as their role in geoenergy applications.
