István Kovács

GMPV Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology

The 2011 Division Outstanding Young Scientist Award is awarded to István Kovács for his outstanding contribution to quantitative infrared spectroscopy of nominally anhydrous minerals and its application to the lithosphere-asthenosphere system.

My research interests are water in nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs), infrared spectroscopy, water and mantle metasomatism, evolution of the subcontinental lithosphere, geodynamics of the Carpathian-Pannonian region.
