Objectives of our contribution are to summarize existing knowledge about terraces of the Ipeľ River and its tributaries in the Ipeľská kotlina basin (South Slovakia, Northern Hungary); to explain the evolution of the Quarternary Terrace system following geological data and geomorphologic analyses; to reveal the tectonic history of the investigated area and to propose various dating methods  for extending the database of fluvial sequences.  Methods we have used for it are morphostructural and morphometric analysis: longitudinal and transverse river valley profiles, analyses of basin and valley symmetries, investigation of alluvial terraces.
