New Slovenian-Croatian bilateral research project / 4.02.2020

A two-year bilateral collaboration research project with the Ruđer Bošković Institute was accepted for funding

Based on our long-term collaboration with colleagues from the Division of Marine and Environmental Research of the Ruđed Bošković Institute in Zagreb (Croatia) on geochemical investigation of tufa formation in karst rivers in Slovenia and Croatia, we obtained funding from the Slovenian Research Agency and Croatian Science Fundation for a two year  bilateral collaboration research project entitled "Non-traditional isotopes as new tool for evaluation of terrestrial sinks of CO2". In the project, we will study the use of isotopes of Mg, Sr, Mo and U in the study of carbonate cycling in recent lacustrine sediments in the lentic sections of the Krka river in the "Krka" National park in Croatia. The project support two-way short term exchange visits of researchers and PhD students, to exchange knowledge and experience. The first exchange visits are planned for the late spring 2020.
