- Title
NEOGENE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE INTRA-CARPATHIAN BASIN.

- Abstract
The Neogene climate was characterized by relatively small climate changes. However, tectonic and volcanic events, the isostatic movements and the evolution of the water covered areas, have influenced the climatic factors course, which took a cyclical character. The research methods considered the evolution of flora, fauna, din flagellates, facieses etc. Different methods often reached common conclusions, which facilitated the reconstitution of the paleoclimate. Early Neogene was characterized by cold at first, followed by a gradual warming, and relatively high humidity. In the Middle Neogene there was a long period of cooling, followed by a gradual, but very slight, warming. Rainfall has suffered a general decline. Abrupt climate oscillations occurred only in the late Neogene. The local character of climate emphasizes and the climate of mountain areas appears. At the end of Neogene the general characters of the climate approaches those of today.
